Surgery in two days and I'm not feeling well - upset tummy
So my surgery is on Wed and I've been doing the liquid preop diet since 6/15. Last night I got the worst stomach cramps and went to the bathroom a bunch during the night. I'm still cramping & using the bathroom a lot today and just feel crummy in general. Anyone else have this on the liquid diet? I'm not sure if that's the cause or if I caught a stomach bug. Ugh. I feel like a bu**** me. Maybe the sheer lack of calories is doing me in, too.

It could possibly be a case of nerves. I know my stomach gets upset when I get nervous about something. If you don't get to feeling better you may want to call your surgeon. I don't think that they would want to do surgery on you if you have a stomach bug. Prayers coming your way that it is just nerves. BTW.....liquid diets affect everyone differently. It could possibly make your run to the potty more often than usual but if you are taking in enough protein it shouldn't make you feel badly. Better safe than sorry I say but do notify your surgeon if you don't start feeling better to see what they want to do about your situation. Good luck and I will be praying for you that your surgery will go on as planned.

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

I was on a pre oip liquid diet for two weeks. The first three to four days, I felt horrible. The protien drinks (depending on which one you use) can cause cramping and diarrhea. I suspect you are feeling terrible becuase of the liquid diet but I would call your surgeon regardless. Try to keep hydrated with plenty of fluids H2o and you should be fine. Good luck. Do call your doctor as this is something he/she should know.
Thanks for your responses. I started feeling better this afternoon. It was either a quick bug or the liquid protein got to me or nerves! Who knows? I haven't had cramps or diarrhea in 6 hours, thankfully! Phew!
