Eating before surgery?

[Kymiep 3]

Are you guys cutting back on your eating before surgery? I do my pre op class tomorrow and I'm having a horrible time just thinking about going to liquids.....any food funerals going on in your household too?

Most surgeons place everyone on some form of diet whether it be full liquid, high Protein, low carb. My surgeon does not use any diet other than do not gain, try to lose 5-10 lbs. I am 6 wks from surgery and I am eating high protein, low carb but will also have things I know I will not be allowed to have for quite sometime.

My surgery date is not till September but I asked my surgeon about a liquid diet prior to surgery. He said he doesn't believe in that. But now I'm feeling uneasy because most everyone is doing it :/

I've posted on this topic because I've had a horrible time with what I call "electric chair eating." I went ahead and started my pre-op diet today even though I am 2.5 weeks before surgery because I couldn't quit eating - was literally sitting around and thinking of all the things I was going to miss. I literally made myself sick. I do NOT recommend it. I do, however, understand it.

For me, once i get the sugar out of my system, the cravings become manageable. I hope that will be your experience on liquids as well.

Best of luck on your journey!
