I'm on my bowel prep day for surgery in the morning, and I've been throwing up and had nausea all day along with the poops I'm supposed to be having.

In the past, I've always thrown up taking mag citrate. Today, I thought I was doing well because I drank it all and didn't throw up....until an hour and a half later. I've thrown up in 3 big episodes and then when I started drinking my Powerade zero with miralax, I started throwing up again.

I am waiting on the nurse to call back and have stopped my powerade zero/miralax mix. I'm wondering if I could take zofran to help. I have to get this down to be ready for tomorrow.

Any advice or insight?

Your doctor should of prescribed a nausea patch to help with the nausea. Good luck

I will get one when I get there in the morning. I did speak to the nurse and she okayed me to take zofran. It's somewhat better.

I was so sick w the mag before a different surgery they had me just do miralax and dulcolax I only got half the miralax in me before throwing it up. I went a lot anyways and surgery was good

Yeah, I haven't been able to do all the miralax. I did all the mag citrate and 1/2 a box of dulcolax. I'm almost clear now, so I think I'm fine.

That is scary to hear. I planned on getting my house in order and cleaned up from Christmas the day before my surgery on the 27th. Sounds like I won't be very productive. Did your surgery go ok? How long did the clean out take?

Thanks

Well, I left laundry undone. Lol. The clean out took from noon to about midnight. But I actually had an accident in my sleep. ????

You may not get the nausea I had. I have not always been a puker but I tend toward nausea after having my daughter. If you tend to be nauseated, maybe take zofran or something similar ahead of time.

On the positive side, I'm well medicated and have no post op nausea. Also, I have a morphine pump I can push once every 10 minutes. I got it at 2 yesterday and have only pushed it 9 times including before and after a walk down the hall. So, I think the recovery is off to a great start.
