Pre op nausea

[smmrsue 56]

Hi all! I’m on day 6 of 14 full liquid diet pre op for sleeve surgery on October 23rd. About day 3 I started to get really nauseous, continuing until today where I was wretching. Good thing is I’m not hungry, but the bad part is I can barely finish one Protein Drink a day and just Water otherwise. I hope this goes away but I’ll just white knuckle it. Anyone else experience this? Tips? I’ve tried broth, different shakes, sugar free Jello, Powerade zero. Thanks!

Yes, my story is in the revision section. I didn't have to do the whole 14 days, just 4; but I decided on my own to start sooner. I'm glad I did because I have been sick and nauseous ever since. I actually just posted again in the preop diet section. Hope we feel better soon.

When I did Keto, there was an expression that when you started you got the "Keto Flu" which was getting sick from cutting out all those carbs. They recommended vegetable broth and Pickle Juice to help get over it!

Glad to know I'm not by myself. 🙂 We will get through this. Good luck next week.

I have vegetable broth, but Pickle Juice? I'm not sure I will be able to handle that with gastritis and I LOVE pickle juice. 🥒🍵🙂 Thanks for the info.

Try adding an additional 25% Water to the Protein Shake. Sometimes. They are just too sweet and thick.

Thanks everyone! I’ve tried broth and thinning the shakes, but I haven’t tried Pickle Juice. Fingers crossed it works. Either way, will power through this.
