Nauseous On Pre-Op Diet?

[MissVVJJ 12]

Ok so yesterday was my first day in the pre-op diet and I had a pretty rough evening. I actually wasn't hungry but I did have a horrible headache and was feeling super nauseous. I can understand getting a headache but nausea?

Did anyone else have this issue also?

When I get a headache I often-times get nausea with it. The headaches don't last through the whole pre-op, so just give it a few days.

Not sure what you ate the days before the pre-op, but if you did any sort of carb overload, that could be the problem. Give it a few days, use cold packs on your neck and head, and remember if you were a soda drinker or coffee drinker, giving those up could also contribute to it.

Just take it light and give it some time and eventually you will feel better.

Good luck to you and the two week pre-op shake was the hardest part of the whole thing for me, because I didn't like the shakes I had to drink. New Direction was very weird tasting to me.

Best of luck!

Thanks Sleeve Master. I did eat a lot of carbs before starting the pre-op diet. I am just trying to get through these first few days.

A headache can make you nauseated. If you are historically a heavy caffeine user, you should taper off instead of quitting cold turkey. You definitely should stop though, as you won't get any the day of surgery or the day after, at minimum, and those would be terrible days for a caffeine headache.

I started my preop diet today. Hope to not get headaches. Hope yours goes away! Maybe it was a '1st day without food your body doesn't like that' headache. Lol

Good luck! We're on this journey together!!

Actually I don't drink coffee or soda...at all so I am sure it could be worst but knowing that in a few days I will feel better is helping me get through this.

Long ago, I tried herbalife shakes for weight loss (didn't work), but I recall feeling nauseous, on those. I think it was from consuming so much milk in a day. I wonder if you could try almond milk with your Protein Powder to see if it makes a difference. I'm on day 5 of liquids, and I have cut back on my milk, prefering to get it in yogurt form, and using more almond milk in my shakes. Good luck!

I am drinking the EAS shakes that are ready to drink since its much more convenient. I am also having sugar-free Jello, chicken broth or non-fat cottage cheese if I get hungry.

I am almost through day two. I got a small headache last night and took Migraine meds. I am doing all rtd stuff. Premier Protein shakes, Costco's version of slim fast, popsicles and chicken broth, and sf Jello. It sucks! But it is so worth it. However, I will not lie I am counting down the days!

[MissVVJJ 12]

Alright so good news!!!...I am starting to feel much better, YEY! The headache is gone and as the day progresses I am feeling good. So there is hope

When I first went to the NUT,she suggested some things to accomplish during the 6 mos. I thought I would do them all so they'd be second nature by surgery time. Let me tell you, the caffeine withdrawal was the absolute pits and the nausea lasted about a week. I really should have taken it slower.
