Pre Op Liquid Nausea?

Hi guys. I've been on my pre-op liquid diet since 12/6 and been getting some killer nausea. I almost had to get off the bus to work to hork. :/

It's highly unpleasant! Discover anyone else experience this during their pre-op diet? And does anyone have any suggestions?

For reference, my pre-op diet allows no solid food whatsoever. A typical day is coffee w/protein powder, a sugar free Jello, soy milk w/protein powder, broth, then some Protein sugar free jello.

I just started by pre-surgery liquid diet today so I'm curious to see what others say.

Also: For any veterans out there: my nutritionis said that post-surgery, I need to have 1 scoop of Protein powder in 4 oz of liquid. How is that even possible? Is that even enough liquid to mix it properly? Tips? Thanks

4 oz and 1 scoop i would suggest you get a blender if you don't have one. I had a Protein shake where it said on the container was 5 oz of Water and one scoop it was a little thick so I added just a little bit of Water

I got a better Protein Shake where it says 8 oz of water and a scoop.

In the morning I make 12 oz I know when I have surgery I won't be able to have it

Also get creative with it

Being I know I can't have an actual banana spit I made my own in a shake form.

I had some strawberry and graham cracker Protein Shake I took a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa

Half of a banana

A teaspoon of vanilla

It was so good

When I have chocolate Protein Powder I had a "Reese's Peanut Butter cup" with Peanut Butter powder

OMG awesome

The reason for the minimal liquid with one scoop of Protein is because it is EXTREMELY difficult to get enough protein in. Our stomachs no longer allow for the same amount of "food" (protein powder), so packing as much protein into as little of liquid as possible is important. You'll find that even 4 ounces is hard to drink after surgery.

coffee is not decaf, but I am allowed caffeinated drinks. I have drunk caffeine on an empty stomach before w/o problem, too.

Oh okay. That's what I was going to suggest. For me, I cannot do caffeine on an empty stomach. If it's never been an issue for you, that probably isn't it. It could be the different balance between protein and carbs (having essentially no carbs with high protein) then what you're used to.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
