I am on day 6 of the preop diet. My surgery is Thursday. Woo hoo. And all has been well until last night. My stomach feels horrible. I was up until 4:30 this morning feeling like I'm gonna puke, but my stomach is grumbling like its hungry. Then iv gone to the bathroom a billion times. Between peeing, gas, and "loosish" stool (TMI sorry :( ) I'm exhausted.

Now, I may be over thinking because I'm an over thinker. It's what I do. But am I getting sick???? Lord I hope not. My preop diet consists of 3 Protein Shakes, 5oz piece of meat and either 1 cup of cooked veggies or 2 cups of raw veggies. And I have stuck with this plan except for one small bite of Mac and cheese to taste the flavor because my kids were complaining.

Ahhhh HELP!!!!!

Welcome to the pre-op diet. You are likely not getting sick. It's because most sugar free Protein Drinks cause a laxative effect and you're eating veggies too. You're doing a good job of flushing your digestive tract. That is probably making you feel a little sick along with being nervous about surgery. Don't worry. :)

Thank you soooo much. I'm feeling a lot better after finally falling asleep for about 2 hours. Lol. I honestly think part of it is my nerves are starting to get the better of me. It's ok, 1 more day and this will all be behind me.
