Nausea during Pre-op Diet

Did anyone else feel nauseous all the time during the pre-op diet? Is it a side effect of eating low carb? I feel great when I wake up in the morning, but I feel very nauseous by the afternoon, which lasts the rest of the day. This is the third day that I've felt this way, and I am on day five of the diet. It is making me crave toast or something to settle my stomach, but nothing I'm allowed to eat helps.

i had nausea, too -- I personally think for me, it was my body trying to get me to eat carbs.  I compare it to withdrawls -- you feel sick, but really, it's just your body trying to justify/trick you into giving in to it.

The other aspect is that if you aren't drinking enough, you can definitely feel nauseated.  So, do make sure you are hydrating. 

I was thinking that maybe it was my body just trying to get me to eat carbs too. I have been drinking lots of water, but I will try to drink more. Maybe I need more to make up for the caffeinated beverages I have been drinking. Thanks.

The pre-op is tough.  It really is.  I look back and I am so proud I made it through!  You will, too.    You got this!

yes,likely carb withdrawal. drink all the broth and other things on your diet to help as well.

For me, the pre-op diet was the worst part of this whole process.  You only have 9 more days to go!  Hang in there, it'll get better.

I was extremely sick but I was on the cabbage soup diet before hand. I got to the point that I was unable to even hold my head up. I came here and learned that every surgeon has a different pre-op diet and some do not have any pre-op diet. I switched to broth instead of the cabbage soup along with whatever else was allowed that day and did much better.
