Today is day three of my nine day liquid diet before surgery. I have this constant nauseated feeling and also a horrible taste in my mouth no matter what I do (brush my teeth etc.). Has anyone experienced this and is it normal?

I think so, I was so very tired in addition.

The horrible taste in your mouth could mean you are in ketosis from cutting out the carbs. Make sure you are drinking lots of fluids besides your protein drinks.

Thank you Cynthia! Yes, I have been drinking at least 64 oz. of water plus the liquids from the prortein drinks. Is this something that will subside?

You will probably have it for a while right after surgery too. The only good thing about it is that it is a sign that your body is breaking down fat. In other words,you are losing weight and becoming a fat burning machine. It subsides after your body adjusts some after surgery. Even though it's disgusting,at least it shows that your body is doing what it's supposed to!

Forgot to add that if I drank more than 64 ounces of water it seemed to help some.

I was nauseous from about day 2 until a week after.  Then I started adding 2 metamucil caps (hospital suggesion) per shake and I was fine.  Not saying this is the solution for you, but it solved my nausea issue.

Thanks for the input and if it continues I will ask my doctor about adding it to my shakes. Thanks for the idea!?
