Today is day 2 of my liquid diet and I was drinking water and got the taste of throw up in my mouth and started to feel sick like I needed to throw up? Has this happen to anyone? Just want to know if it's normal?? Thanks in advance [emoji53]

I do know of one lady who had a bad anxiety attack while on the liquid diet. She freaked herself out enough to believe she might be having a heart attack and ended up at the ER needing a xanax shot to calm down. I think some of us can have a lot of big emotions as we inch perilously closer to the actual act of having surgery...and that can set off some weird physical reactions.

OR...

You could be coming down with the flu...so keep track of your temperature. LOL.

OR...

Maybe you drank too fast and gagged a little....or who knows?

Wish I could be more help, but nope...haven't heard of that.

I had the exact same experience. The protein drinks were gagging me and the nausea was horrendous. The first 3 days I had 1-2 shakes a day. Less than 300 calories. My doctor prefers an all liquid 2 week diet. However, in the Bariatric class we all had to take, someone asked the coordinator about the food version of the LSD (liver shrinking diet). The coordinator said that whatever works can be done. A lot of people like the easiness of doing the shakes because they don’t have to count their calories and MACROS. Needless to say I’ve incorporated some food into my preop diet. It’s very little food and not the kind of food I’d typically enjoy, but food nonetheless. And I feel 100% better. The key is to have less than 25 carbs per day. Approx 700 calories and less than 10 grams of fat. 90+ grams of protein. I use MyFitnessPal to log all my food choices. And I’m down 16lbs in the first 7 days. I’m doing something right. Hang in there. Don’t be afraid of reaching out to your doctor and seeing if you can incorporate some food.

Yes ... to me couple of times in the 13 weeks post-op.

Yes, the happening is normal. The frequency varies.

Oh jeeze, I was under the impression you were still pre op, and doing the preop diet? I can’t see that in the app. I just saw your post on another thread and assumed. Disregard my suggestion if you are post op.

Again, I think during these beginning stages our bodies are adjusting to such few calories, carbs etc. Nausea is inevitable. This too shall pass.

Happened to me. I had to drink crystal light for weeks. Now, I can drink TONS Of water no problem!

It happened to me post op .. but whenever I drank .. room temperature water. And it was thanks to the shakes.
