I am SO surprised that you could eat that so close to your surgery date! Your doctor is definately not as strict as mine. I have the surgery scheduled for the 13th and have been on a low carb (no more than 30 grams a day) since Wednesday. Next Saturday and Sunday I will be on all liquids with my surgery being Monday. This is my 5th day on low carbs and I must say I hate eat!! I can only have meat and some veggies and am so tired of it already. I mean, how much broccoli can one person eat.

Hope you do well with the procedure and am not as scared as I seem to be.

Congratulations on your approval for surgery! Also, I'm surprised with the last meal allotment, but every doctor and person is different. I had to make it through two weeks of liquids only!! I must admit it helped prepare me for this recovery period.

Good Luck with your journey.

I've seen how so many offices/surgeons are different. After I had that meal, I didn't eat anything else the rest of the day, because I wasn't hungry. ...which makes sense. I think I'll be fine. Today I was back on my pre-op diet. Since tomorrow is my last day before surgery, I'll probably have my whole-grain cereal for breakfast, my protein drinks and a light evening meal early. Maybe I'll have cereal for my dinner also or just have a protein shake. That might be best. Good Luck ConB113 and Loyalfriend.
