Popsicles were the one thing that got me through those first few months. They were especially helpful when my gag reflex would kick in, from smelling something.
For me, drinking water became a big no no. Any liquid I drank had to have either sugar or salt in it, or it came right back up. I drank a lot of gatoraide.
Also, keeping something in my pocket that had a pleasant smell to it (I used a sample sized bar of Burt's Bees soap) really helped. I'd just pull it out and hold it to my nose if a smell was bothering me.
