Surgery On Wed

[Lana08 37]

So I'm driving from Edmonton, Alberta to Vancouver, BC for my surgery on wed and I have done great on the slim time per diet for the last 2 weeks I'm down 14 pounds which I'm happy about but now I'm struggling we r on the road to Vancouver, I'm trying so hard to stay on track with the diet but its so difficult I want enjoy a meal so badly before my surgery as I know it will b a while after before I will be able to eat again....will this be a terrible thing ???

Yes, you do not want food in your belly before surgery (any kind of surgery). You have made it this far and after surgery you won't be wanting it... So please stay strong. This too shall pass and you will do much better for surgery.

Usually its NPO from midnight the day of surgery.

NPO nothing to eat or drink

I ate two days before. A giant sandwich. My liver was perfect. Its your body. I don't regret it.

Thanks for the reassurance!! I did have a nice dinner with my husband and daughter last night. It was very healthy though and I enjoyed every minute and every bite!! I don't regret it either!!!
