Neomycin, like most antibiotics, have a high likliehood of nausea. Especially on an empty stomach. I'm guessing it is a prophylactic treatment to prevent infection prior to surgery. If it is more than a one time dose, just make sure you take it with food or milk. But even then, it can still cause nausea. So sorry you're feeling yucky before your surgery!

That's the thing. I'm on the clear liquid diet and I can't have food nor milk. I have nothing to coat my stomach with. I'm excited for my surgery tomorrow but I feel miserable too. Ugh!

Call your MD's office. They may change antibiotics or give you a medicine to help with the nausea. It's a side effect, not an allergic reaction. But if it is really limiting your intake it's an issue. They likely have a MD oncall for tonight if it's after business hours. I would call. It will at least put your mind at ease.

      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.
