Clear liquid diet

Does anyone feel nausea while on the clear liquid diet?

I haven't gotten to my liquid diet yet. 1.5 weeks pre-op. But I've been on my high protein/low carb pre-op diet for the last 2.5 weeks and I was feeling very nauseous last week. I started pushing more Fluid and its helped a lot.

I started mine today and feel really nauseated and have a headache. Hope it gets better as the week goes on.

I'm not looking forward to this part. I recently had a colonoscopy and was on clear liquid diet for the whole day prior the procedure. I was so sick. Nauseous, headache.... It looks like though from reading other post that Clear liquids get easier as you go. I wouldn't know this since I just had the one day, but one can hope. Hope you all feel better soon!

I'm on day 8 of my 2 week pre op liquid diet. It does get easier! Think day 3 was my worst for hunger, bad moods and headache but I'm fine now - just remember its all worth it x

I'm on day 8 of my 2-week pre-op Clear Liquids & the only problems with nausea is when I drink a sports drink. They are just nasty! Unfortunately, I have to drink them for the electrolytes because I can't have broth. Even low sodium broth makes me gain 2-3 pounds in a day & then it takes at least 2 days to lose them.

Did you try making your own broth with no sodium? Just get Soup greens from the supermarket and a soup or fryer chicken and simmer. When its done, you can strain and refrigerator it.

I have considered making my own broth, but I've worked out what works for me. Maybe when I've gone through all of the sports drinks I bought I'll do it. Some of the drinks are better than others. The Walmart brand are a lot better than the Powerade Zero.

Drink broth WITH SALT. You need the salt (the body will die without salt). Plus it will help with nausea and give you an energy lift.

I used to go to a restaurant (Panera bread was my go to place) and get chicken Noodle, Veggie or French Onion Soup -- and ask for just the broth. Restaurants were always very nice about it. I guess alot of people ask for this. Made me feel normal.

My surgery date is August 27th and I see my doctor on August 20th. I don't know if he will put me on the liquid diet the week prior to surgery, but I put myself on it for the past 3 days to try and lose 3 lbs before I see my doctor. He is requiring me to lose 13 lbs prior to surgery and I had lost that, but gained 3 lbs in the past month. I have gotten terrible headaches yesterday and today. No nausea, but the headaches are really bad.

I haven't really been eating because I've been nauseous and this sugar free Jello is gross. I don't think I've lost weight. This isn't good

I saw my surgeon today. They sold me a meal package for the liquid diet. It actually includes chicken noodle Soup, cream of broccoli, and oatmeal. Also includes shakes, hot chocolates, raspberry tea, Jello, and smoothies. It is making this whole thing a lot easier and I'm not nauseated. Check with your doctors to see if they can offer something like that.
