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?

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.

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
