 Ok, let me get this out, i am not a whiner or complainer, i am looking to share my experience to find out if anybody has had a similar experience or if anyone has any advice. I started my preop yest am. I am usually a big coffee drinker but because it has to black, i wont touch it. So, i had my shake at bfast, bar at lunch, 2 cups stirfried veggies at supper and then i started to get a headache in the eve. i made a shake and sipped on it through the eve. headache continued so i went to bed. I woke up this am with a near migraine. I went to work anyway, because i had my ES&D at 930. So i left work at 9 for the ESD. When i got back to work, i suddenly started sweating, and violently vomitting. I dont know if this is related to the migraine, the caffeine withdrawel, the barium, or what, but i have vomitted 4 times since this am. i feel absolutely aweful. Has anybody else ever had this type of experience with the preop. I am very worried because i still have a very long way to go.
Thanks
Hayley

Hayley it could be a combination, the barium made me sick for 2 days, I wish I had thrown it up, it gave me bad gas pains, and nausea.
The headache could be the caffeine withdrawal or the diet some girls have experienced them with the diet but they do go away, you can take Tylenol . 2 tbls of skim milk a day is aloud for coffee.
Hope you feel better tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that you are sick.  Sounds horrible.  I brewed expresso and put in the blender with my vanilla shake.  It came out like a latte.  I got my caffiene fix and viola no headache!!! Give it a go, it is worth a try!  Good luck and I hope you are feeling better.

Oh Hayley,
I am sorry to hear that!
When i had my es and d I did not have any side effects at all. Ok i may have burped a couple of times! Guess I was lucky i remember reading that Sista10 was sick from it the night before mine and i was scared of those gas pains!
But as we know everyone is different.
On tues i started a higher protein and lower carb diet. I have had off and on period of nausea, shakiness and a headache. I was feeling so nauseous the other night I ate a hi fiber granola bar...and then felt completely fine. I think I had low blood sugar. I just looked up low blood sugar signs on 'diabetes .net'

I did have headaches for the first three days. I needed to use Tylenol for it. I also got an upset stomach when I ate the bars without drinking enough water.

Hope you are feeling better soon.
