Please help...surgery in the morning. Need advise.

[sweetpea840 2]

Friend's I need advise I am scheduled tomorrow morning for surgery VSG and ever since I started all clear diet yesterday morning I have had major bathroom problems. This morning it seems to be just achy stomach from yesterday and gasy. I did try a isotech 42 (Vitamin shoppe Protein drink) yesterday and it kept upsetting my stomach so I stopped that. Is this normal???? Please advise I'm nervous now that everything is a go and my husband is off for the week I will have to cancel.

Just stick with Clear liquids today. Surgery won't be cancelled if you have diarrhea or even Constipation. I would only drink Clear Liquids though.

Oh not Constipation the exact opposite...I've had diarrhea all day yesterday...luckily not today just gas.

I had the exact same thing pre op. I was running to the bathroom every 10 minutes.

That is completely normal on liquid phase. Remember liquids in...liquids out.

I am 5 days post op. My liquids for 24 hours prior to surgery was light apple juice, low sodium fat free chicken broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles.

The more Protein you have the more gas you will most likely have. I would stick to the clear diet above if it meets with your surgeons requirements.

After surgery I resumed the same diet on day three after surgery and will start full liquid tomorrow. I had failed my leak test so was delayed to start liquid otherwise I would have started the day after surgery.

Just do exactly wha your surgeon tells you and good luck.

What is a leak test?

A leak test for me was the morning after surgery. Had to drink some awful tasting liquid while they take live xrays. It is to make sure the liquid yoh drank passes thru your stomach without any coming into your adominal cavity. Some surgeons do it while you are still on operating table.

[Rae5148 28]

It's a test they give you also called a swallow test where they check to make sure your stomach doesn't leak before you can eat liquids.
