Pre-op liquid severe nausea

[Edee Formell 7]

Please help me with some ideas. I just started my prep liquid diet today and can only have shakes and sugar free liquids, prob is I suffer from nausea already and when I have anything sugar free it makes me so sick, so I'm on day one of this dang thing and I can't move because of the nausea is so bad. I asked doc but didn't give me any ideas besides zofran which is fine but the Constipation can be really bad taking Zofran. Any help needed please!! I could liquids just fine if it weren't for the nausea!! 😭😭😭

sugar free liquids... did they say broth was okay? Or do they legitimately only want you on shakes and Jello? If your surgeon is aware you have an allergy to sugar alternatives or something similar, they should be able to provide more options for you...

You should ask about Soup broth, for sure. They may need to adjust your meal plan a little to accommodate your allergies.

I can do chicken broth but otherwise shakes and liquids only. I told him the artificial sweetners made me sick but I got nothing for another option besides take zofran. I could not find any shakes anywhere that doesn't have some type of sugar substitute. I wish I could do the meat Protein only with Water but that wasn't an option. I have gastritis and very large hitial hernia as well but the nausea is so debilitating.

What is Soup broth? Same as chicken broth?

[Sammi_Katt 303]

chicken, beef, or vegetable stock.

As an alternative, they *do* offer unflavored, unsweetened Protein powders. They don't taste great on their own, but they might be better than the ones with the sweeteners in it.
