LMarie 26 Posted September 5, 2013 Hi Vicki! Yes I used dr bellanger at st Elizabeth's hospital and the staff was unbelievable. I just had to do 1 small Breakfast, and clear liquid the rest of the day for the day prior to surgery! I feel good now. Just trying to figure out how much to drink and when! Anesthesia gave me a very sore throat and I'm still drowsy but no nausea really. At the moment I can't tolerate anything cold or flavored so I'm only drinking room temp Water. I will try to work on Protein tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
