I started my pre-op diet yesterday.

Today I threw up almost immediately after drinking one of my smoothies.

(We are only allowed one scoop of protein in almond milk a day and 2 fruit smoothies that include frozen fruit , water, and stevia only)

I’m wondering if my vitamins possibly caused the vomiting ? Anyone else have that happen?

Also... I know that we need to follow our surgeons pre-op plan and I intend to. I was wondering though if anyone thinks I would be cleared to drink broth once a day instead of a smoothie ? Does anyone know the reasoning behind smoothies only vs allowing broth ? Ideally I would like to do protein shake, smoothie, and broth as my “meals”

Thoughts? Thanks !

Every plan is different, so I'd suggest calling your doctor and/or nutritionist to discuss what you can do. I definitely have problems with pills--vitamins or medications--when I don't have food in my stomach first.

My pre-op plan was very different: protein shakes for breakfast and lunch, lean dinner with protein and veggies, one fruit per day. It was, in my opinion, much better than a liquid-only diet pre-op (although the last day was clear liquids only).

But, again, check with your nutritionist. You may be able to do something different than you are doing now. Good luck.
