Pre Op Liquid Nausea?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys. I've been on my pre-op liquid diet since 12/6 and been getting some killer nausea. I almost had to get off the bus to work to hork. :/

It's highly unpleasant! Discover anyone else experience this during their pre-op diet? And does anyone have any suggestions?

For reference, my pre-op diet allows no solid food whatsoever. A typical day is coffee w/protein powder, a sugar free Jello, soy milk w/protein powder, broth, then some Protein sugar free jello.

I just started by pre-surgery liquid diet today so I'm curious to see what others say.

Also: For any veterans out there: my nutritionis said that post-surgery, I need to have 1 scoop of Protein powder in 4 oz of liquid. How is that even possible? Is that even enough liquid to mix it properly? Tips? Thanks

@wonderwomanNJ

4 oz and 1 scoop i would suggest you get a blender if you don't have one. I had a Protein shake where it said on the container was 5 oz of Water and one scoop it was a little thick so I added just a little bit of Water

I got a better Protein Shake where it says 8 oz of water and a scoop.

In the morning I make 12 oz I know when I have surgery I won't be able to have it

Also get creative with it

Being I know I can't have an actual banana spit I made my own in a shake form.

I had some strawberry and graham cracker Protein Shake I took a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa

Half of a banana

A teaspoon of vanilla

It was so good

When I have chocolate Protein Powder I had a "Reese's Peanut Butter cup" with Peanut Butter powder

OMG awesome

The reason for the minimal liquid with one scoop of Protein is because it is EXTREMELY difficult to get enough protein in. Our stomachs no longer allow for the same amount of "food" (protein powder), so packing as much protein into as little of liquid as possible is important. You'll find that even 4 ounces is hard to drink after surgery.

coffee is not decaf, but I am allowed caffeinated drinks. I have drunk caffeine on an empty stomach before w/o problem, too.

Oh okay. That's what I was going to suggest. For me, I cannot do caffeine on an empty stomach. If it's never been an issue for you, that probably isn't it. It could be the different balance between protein and carbs (having essentially no carbs with high protein) then what you're used to.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
