oh man am glad you talked about these points. I have the exact same problems.
I am now 2 weeks post op and I cannot do any protein shakes or clear protein drinks.
I can barely drink 2 bottles of water a day maybe 1200 ml and I am for sure not able to get any vitamins in.
I wake up feeling very nauseous and that lasts for hours. I cant even drink water without having to gag.
and no energy. I can do light house work but I need to be able to sit every 10-15 min or I can feel my self starting to faint.
I am worried that I might be very dehydrated and maybe malnourished.
I have an appointment with my surgeon next week and I will be bringing these topics up
hopefully we can find solutions for these
I did talk to the doctors office. they told me to just keep going. its just normal gas...
I am able to keep half shake down per day. and switched the rest with what is allowed of lettuce and broccoli.
I have 6 days to go and hope this will help get through them.
thank you for the advise
oh that is great... I will call for sure and ask .
I cant believe its only 6 days to go.
thank you for the advice and I wish you the best.
following, I have mine 2 days before you and freaking out.
I was wondering if we should prepare the chewable vitamins and the protein powder from now
or will they give a list while in hospital?
yes I am in Canada. here we are required to do the liquid diet for about 2-4 weeks. I will stay of Opti fast tonight , just keep taking in my water and try again in the morning and see.
if it does not work I will have to call my doc again
I will also try the gas-x for sure maybe it will help.
thank you for your help
yes it only happened when I drank the shakes these 2 days. I have not tried anything else yet. when I called the docs office today they told me to just keep trying they did not advise of any replacement.
Hello everyone,
my surgery is on OCT 5th, i have been on the optofast diet since sep 14th. taking 4 packs a day.
it has been great untill yesterday, for some reason since i took the morning shake i felt sick, my upper stomach hurts, i feel nausious and ready to vomit. also burping and feel like i have gas stuck in my stomach
i was onlt able to get 2 packs down yesterday. today same thing is happening but worst where am feeling sick while drinking it and then vomitting within 10 min.
i called the doctor office and they said there must be something eles going on because if i were to get a bad reaction from it it would have happened from the get go not 12 days later...
iam doing it the proper way, iam also drinking my water i have lost 10 lbs in these 12 days.
i also got my sycle today.
please let me know if anyone is going/gone through this?
what can i do to reduce the gas if this is what it is?
