Wheat thins. I would have one every 5 minutes or so.
I also ate small ice creams like a champ so that if I threw up it didn’t burn. It’s gross but tastes the same coming back up so my eyes wouldn’t water as much and I didn’t look as pale. I still can’t eat peanut butter chocolate ice cream but it did the trick.
Most of mine was early morning and around 10am so I stocked up the office freezer with 5 at a time and called it stress ice cream. When at a client, I used crackers and caramel with plenty of water. Herbal tea with a dash of naturals cream was nice too.
It’s tmi, but the ice cream was pretty quiet. It’s thicker so as long as you aren’t a screamer when throwing up, a lot of the retching sounds were gone. I had my own office which helped for general nausea but it was a common bathroom.
Also, the medical puke bags are game changing. They have a plastic o ring so it doesn’t collapse when using but are flat to hide in a bag. I stashed one everywhere in case I needed one in a pinch.
I didn’t get as ill when cold either so I wore sleeveless shirts. Anyone who asks why you aren’t cold, ask them if they are sick.
Talk to your doctor and then HR. I think it’s a very reasonable request to not travel for a few months.
I’m not sure about meetings - if you feel ill enough, there is zero shame in talking off for a few weeks or more using short term disability or FLMA or PTO.
Most of us cannot take that sort of financial hit, and sexism is alive and well in the workplace. I made sure my work was above reproach and I was 14 weeks before I told them. Learned it the hard way with kid 1 and it’s almost impossible to prove.
Candies. Ginger candies and dum dums were my friend. Ginger ale.

Sending you love and hoping it passes soon! I haven’t been in your shoes, but nausea sucks overall!
