Horrible reaction to miralax post op, anyone have a clue ?



Recommended Posts

Per my surgeons recommendation I used benefiber and colace postoperatively for days and neither was doing **** for me (literally). Last night I decided to take things into my own hands and took a serving of Miralax. Within half an hour I was getting intense headache/vertigo/light headedness (some combination of them it was hard to describe) my whole body was shaking on an extreme level and my teeth were chattering an insane amount so much that I had to bite down on a blanket. Shortly after I got extreme nausea and major dryheaving (could have sworn I was going to vomit but ultimately didnt)

Eventually I suffered enough and was able to fall asleep. I was extremely close to going to the emergency room.

Im going to discuss this with my surgeon at my prexisting appointment next week, but does anyone have any idea what this could have been ? Im just speculating that maybe because my stomach is so small that when I drank the miralax it didnt end up getting to where it needed to go which could have caused the stomach pain and nauseous but the rest im clueless on.

And on a side note yes it was thanksgiving, but I stuck to my diet 100% which consists of the exact same things everyday so no thanksgiving cheating was involved with causing this.

Thanks to anyone for reading my jumbled mess !

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
