nausea from surgical and pain medications is centrally mediated. Eating
won't help. What will help is an anti-nausea drug like Zofran or
Phenergan. There's really very little pain from the incisions and
probably not much from surgery - mostly weirdness because you have glue
in your belly button. And later, it itches like crazy, but no big deal.

Be very careful to keep your hands away from the sites and not scrub them when you take a shower/bath as they can get infected (tends to be rare-it happened on my second lap and i was given antibiotics and it cleared up)
