Neomycin, like most antibiotics, have a high likliehood of nausea. Especially on an empty stomach. I'm guessing it is a prophylactic treatment to prevent infection prior to surgery. If it is more than a one time dose, just make sure you take it with food or milk. But even then, it can still cause nausea. So sorry you're feeling yucky before your surgery!

That's the thing. I'm on the clear liquid diet and I can't have food nor milk. I have nothing to coat my stomach with. I'm excited for my surgery tomorrow but I feel miserable too. Ugh!

Call your MD's office. They may change antibiotics or give you a medicine to help with the nausea. It's a side effect, not an allergic reaction. But if it is really limiting your intake it's an issue. They likely have a MD oncall for tonight if it's after business hours. I would call. It will at least put your mind at ease.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
