Nutricia preOp Drink - how lemony is it

[redxlondon]

Dreading having to down the two bottles of preOp drink before section. I can’t stand flavored water / drinks, how lemony is it? Just need to try knock it back without vomiting 🤮

I only managed to drink half of one sachet, promptly threw it back up then each time I tried to drink it again I threw up. I explained to the midwife and she told me not to worry. Good luck!

I quite like it (tried it because a few customers had said they didn’t like it!). Best served cold for sure though.

Are you in the UK? I've never heard of this for sections!

I didn't have to drink anything before my c section, maybe there's an alternative?

If it's a sachet like other people have said, I dilute them as little as possible (like two gulps of water) and then drink the extra water separately. Always made berocca more tolerable when I was hungover!

Yes, it must be very new as she scribbled out the part in the leaflet about having a black coffee with sugar on the morning.

It’s pre made in a bottle, not sachets. And it’s two quite big bottles!

I had a section 6 months ago and wasn't allowed anything 8 hours before!
