Clear Liquid Diet

Ok, this clear liquid diet has given me terrible heartburn. Ugh, I can't drink anything bu****er right now. I didn't have this bad heartburn when I was eating food. I don't know why it is so bad now. All I have drank is broth, vitamin water, regular water, and sugar free popsicles.
It was real bad the first day I started my clear liquid diet, but I took a Zantac because I started 1 day early and I didn't think I could handle it the entire time. Now I still have 2 days left on the diet and don't know if it would be safe to take a Zantac this close to surgery.
With it being Sunday, I don't know anyway to contact my Dr because the office is closed. I could try to call the coordinator but I hate to bother her on her only day off.
Guess, I will just stick with the water and hope it gets better.

If you will be doing a clear liquid diet before surgery you might want to inquire about taking something for heartburn before hand so you are better prepared than me.

I am currently taking Prevacid, and my doctor said it was okay to take it up until the morning of surgery. So I would think you'd be fine taking the Zanta****il the morning of your surgery.

Ouch!  I'm not a big fan of heartburn.  I'm sorry to hear that you're having to deal with it right now.  I don't have to start my full liquids until 9am Tuesday morning.  Better make sure I have something to combat the heartburn in case is shows up to my house after leaving yours...lol.
