I'm on my bowel prep day for surgery in the morning, and I've been throwing up and had nausea all day along with the poops I'm supposed to be having.

In the past, I've always thrown up taking mag citrate. Today, I thought I was doing well because I drank it all and didn't throw up....until an hour and a half later. I've thrown up in 3 big episodes and then when I started drinking my Powerade zero with miralax, I started throwing up again.

I am waiting on the nurse to call back and have stopped my powerade zero/miralax mix. I'm wondering if I could take zofran to help. I have to get this down to be ready for tomorrow.

Any advice or insight?

I will get one when I get there in the morning. I did speak to the nurse and she okayed me to take zofran. It's somewhat better.

Yeah, I haven't been able to do all the Miralax. I did all the mag citrate and 1/2 a box of dulcolax. I'm almost clear now, so I think I'm fine.

That is scary to hear. I planned on getting my house in order and cleaned up from Christmas the day before my surgery on the 27th. Sounds like I won't be very productive. Did your surgery go ok? How long did the clean out take?

Thanks

Well, I left laundry undone. Lol. The clean out took from noon to about midnight. But I actually had an accident in my sleep. ????

You may not get the nausea I had. I have not always been a puker but I tend toward nausea after having my daughter. If you tend to be nauseated, maybe take zofran or something similar ahead of time.

On the positive side, I'm well medicated and have no post op nausea. Also, I have a morphine pump I can push once every 10 minutes. I got it at 2 yesterday and have only pushed it 9 times including before and after a walk down the hall. So, I think the recovery is off to a great start.

      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.
