Pre op diet day 1

[angiecr 28]

My surgery is in a week from today, so I started with the liquid diet but now I'm feeling very nauseous... any suggestions for the next few days???

Hang in there! I had a bit of that at first too. Today on full liquids: surgery tomorrow am.

I'm having the same pre-op diet nausea problem (day 4 now). Talked to Dr. office about the nausea today and they suggested taking an acid blocker to see if that helps, and if not they will prescribe an anti-nausea med. The nurse said that especially if you suffer from GERD, your stomach could be producing too much acid for the minimal amount of food you are taking in, so your stomach is irritated. I took a prilosec about an hour ago and feel a little better, though still queasy.
