I'm the 27th too. My doc says 1 night in hospital and only Clear Liquids day before surgery. Good luck to everyone. Thank you to all on this forum. I would not have the courage without you all.

I will be spending 2 nights in the hospital.. fine with me.. I would rather be there as I get use to my new stomach: ) 10 days of liquids before the surgery as well. I am on day 2 .. ok so far : ) I already find myself getting bored.. its amazing how much food or meals fill your day..

I'm on the 27th too! I will finish my one week low fat diet on sunday and start my full liquid diet monday. My doctor says one night in hospital and i should be released around noon the next day. I am kinda worried about being able to drink enough. Actually considered trying to convince them to let me keep my IV and some extra fluids just in case. The nurse in me wants to take the easy way out. =) After surgery.. my NUT handbook says clear liquid -1 week... full liquid... one week... then mushies but my doctors book says I can try full liquid on the 3rd day and mushies within a week. I think I'm gonna stick with liquids based on everything I've learned on here.

I am SO ready!
