Question:
I am on liquids ....
I am on liquids until my surgery next Friday, I started this yesterday by having s/f jello and different drinks. My question is that at times i feel nausiated, is this common and what can i do to get through this? It appears to happen 3-4 times a day that i feel this way. Did anyone else go through this, as if it is a withdraw? — missyheffelfinger (posted on February 27, 2007)

If I had to guess it would be blood sugars. Talk to your Dr though. It
may be something that will pass.
Best of luck in the coming weeks.

I would have to agree with Chris I think it's because your body might be
going through suger withdrawl....that's what happen to me before surgery I
also was light headed but I would definatley get in touch with your dr and
let them know your feeling this way.......Good luck with your surgery and
I'll see you soon on the losers bench.

Yes...it happened to me, too. Basically, they said my blood sugar was low
and to drink some milk (high in sugar and protein). This seemed to be my
magic bullet - a shot or two of 1% milk and I was back on track. Good
luck.

This happened to me as well. I was told full liquids were ok until the day
before, but I was doing clear liquids and sugar free. Ask your doctor, but
I agree with the other post about milk, my doc also said our protein shakes
were ok on the full liquid stage. If you are only allowed clear, do they
have to be sugar free? You may be allowed some apple juice. Good Luck!

It could be the artificial sweeteners in the jello and your different
drinks. Sometimes they can really upset the stomach and cause diarrhea.

Well Missy as you can see there are a lot of different answers here for you
and each ones Dr. had different advise. My advise is to call your own Dr.
and ask him what you should do. Each Dr. has a plan and you need to follow
his plan. Mixing up different plans is not a good idea. Each plan may work
just fine followed to the end but trying to incorporated several may be
disasterous so make that call and stay healthy. Good Luck on your journey.

Hi Missy, thanks for your question. I did not have to do liquids before
surgery, but there can be a lot of things going on. You could be anxious
for the surgery, resentful that you are not having "one more
meal", it could be physical, but if you have dieted before like this,
then I think it would be something else. Your head will play tricks on you
before and after surgery. We think we are honest with ourselves, but our
lust for food is so big we are very willing to lie to ourselves to get what
we want. It sounds desparate, but truthfully that is why we are obese and
stay obese. We lie to ourselves about what we eat, and that we can eat
whatever we want and it is ok. The brain is a strong organ and likes
control. You will need to battle obesity issues both now and after surgery
to have true success. Be sure you hook up with a good support group or
start one, and follow your doctors plan. Once we stray for our doctors
plan, we start our own, and the submission from physician to an unruly
brain, very ready to compromise to give you what you want, will begin. If
you can be stubborn to follow the rules for as long as possible, it will
help you. Your brain will not want to follow those rules, you will
"feel sick", you will "feel anxious", you will "be
angry". It is all about learning to train your brain who makes the
decisions. It is a battle, and it is not easy, but you can do it. Best to
you. Patricia P

Hi,
I am 4yrs out, and was suffering with a lot of health problems. Low iron
levels, monthly B-12 shots, hair loss the list continues. I had a hard time
getting the supplements I need because they were in pill form, or just
didn't digest. I found this wonderful product that I wanted to share with
everyone because it has changed my health problems around completely. My
hair is growing back thicker and fuller, my nails are stronger than ever,
my latest labs came back with flying. Write me and I will share the
information with you.
