well its here, surgery eve... sipping on a cup of hot apple cider. I had clear liquids all day today which really was not as hard as i thought it would be until now. I could really go for a snack. I sure hope the anesthesia doesnt make me sick. Last time I had surgery was 19 years ago and I was so ill when I woke up. I had to stay overnight because I could not stop dry heaving. So of course Im a little worried about that with the band. I bought chicken broth, beef broth, LOTS of jello, apple juice, white grape juice and hot apple cider. Hopefully that will get me thru the first week. Anyone has any suggestions on what else I can have that is clear liquids? Wish me luck!

protein water (kellogs20, designer whey protein2 go powder mixed with water, gatorade, vitamin water etc.) first two can be found in Giant food stores in the health food sections don't know about other groccery stores but expect it would be in the same place.

Another good one is miso soup or clear sushi-style broth. both really good if u need flavor.

I had my surgery a week ago today and those things got me through. Good luck, it's not so bad, you can do it!

Thanks everyone.. The surgery went VERY well. I was at hospital by 7 am and they took me back at 7:15 and hooked up my IV about 8:30 they took me in and was finished with the surgery about 45min later. Doc said everything went really well. They gave me a patch behind my ear and meds in my iVfor nausea before I woke up. I have NOT had ANY nausea!!! I was so frantic over that. The nurses started me on water and crytal light, but I kept burping up the crystal light so I am holding off on drinking that. Water was good enough. Had chicken broth for breakfast and beef broth for supper with sugar free jello. I am home now drinking water and vitamin water. I acutally gained about 3 pounds, but im sure thats because everything is still swollen. have to drink clear liquids til saturday and then I can have soups, cream soups, and milk in my coffee. I am so excited that I have not been hungry once in the last 2 days! Good Luck to everyone that has upcoming surgeries. I hope yours goes as well as mine!
