I don't remember what I felt but I do remember throwing up everywhere. No one else has mentioned this, so I must have been an anomaly.

I remember that I didn't care what it tasted like, it was the first liquid I was allowed to drink, and man was I thristy!

I don't recall it making me feel bad though. My doctor was really pleased with everything, and I then got clearance to drink so I was ecstatic.

It tasted like a sweet chalk milkshake. Not good but not that big a deal. Upper GI was one of the easier tests.

I projectile vomited all over the machine. The tech got a little pissy with me! At first the inflammation wouldn't even let the contrast through.

If you are talking about the swallow test after surgery, it wasn't that bad. I was so thirsty that I was actually excited. They have you drink about 3 small swallows. It only equals about 2 oz total if that. Mine tasted like what you would imagine really strong clorinated pool Water would taste like...Not great but tolerable..

Mine was a clear liquid in a one ounce cup that tasted like cough Syrup. Not too bad.

I was gagging the entire way back to my room after the test then when I sat down in my room I yacked it all back up. It tastes awful and felt like a brick. But after I got it out it was real easy for me to start sipping my Propel!

Don't worry. I did the exact same thing. I was already extremely nauseas before the test so as soon as I took a sip of it. It came right back up.

I kept vomiting, so we had to keep stopping and doing the test over and over again. It was disgusting and I pray I never have to take that test again.

Yes, I thought I was gonna throw up but I just gagged after every sip! Lol the good. Dr also yelled at me for not getting it down fast enough!

Did anyone else have to turn around on the table while laying down? I swear I felt like a beached whale!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
