Do you have ice in your water? My dr said no ice because many people are sensitive to the extra cold. I'd say you may be taking too big of a sip. I get a feeling like you've explained if I'm eating too fast, or took too much at a time.

I was feeling much better by day 4, and drinking/eating continues to get a little bit better each day after that.

The first 2 days will be the worst. His stomach is very swollen from the surgery. Very tiny sips of water are best, bigger gulps like he's probably used to will feel uncomfortable. The nurses can give him anti-nausea medicine. This sounds normal to me. It will feel better each day as the swelling goes down. It's also good to train yourself to slow down and take smaller portions into your mouth.

I am also a lifetime migraine sufferer, however I have not had one headache at all since I started my pre-op diet. I do have Zomig which is a nasal spray and works in about 20 minutes if I happen to get one. I do have my one cup of coffee in the morning, and now I use Premier Protein as my creamer. I also had some last minute thoughts like you, but I told myself that if I could be successful another way, I would had already done it that way. Good luck in your decision.

I had mine on surgery day, as well as the girl in the bed next to me. This is nothing new to the doctors and nurses. They nurses will probably give you disposable underwear and a pad to wear during surgery.
