Are to having the surgery...im on the last day of my 2 day liquid diet....and im dying ...hay just being jonest ive been lusting over food since Wednesday. ....

Oh I understand how you feel, I've been doing this diet for 2 long weeks and thank God it's almost over. I was just saying I'm sure you could find something better to blow your diet on than a sandwich I don't know I guess I'm just speaking for myself like pizza, a mushroom and Swiss burger, Guac I dunno Halloween candy the list goes on Good thing surgery is in the morning lol just try and stay strong I know it's hard but it will be worth it in the end!

I am scheduled for November 15. Went to the doctor today for pre op work up. It is becoming real and a little scary.

Eating the day before surgery is very dangerous. You do not need to have any food in your tummy, that is why you do liquids only the day before surgery. I hope you reconsider the sandwich. You can do this. You deserve it. Please do not eat anything. It is very risky! If you do, you must tell your surgeon! Your surgery will be rescheduled.

Now I am concerned. My surgeon never told me not to eat anything before surgery tomorrow. They told me to stay on my pre-op diet up until midnight tonight. My diet was Protein 2 Protein Shakes 2 applesauce and a 3oz piece of fish. That is what I have had today, I hope I am not in trouble!!!

You are following your surgeons instructions. Don't worry about it. I on the other hand have had the joy of doing liquids today. And it wasn't bad at all. But I had to take magnesium citrate. Lots of trips to the bathroom. And still going. Lol. We are at the final hours.

[caroline2 89]

Sorry. I did not mean to cause any concern. Those were the directions from my surgeon. It seems like instructions vary from surgeon o surgeon. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to add stress! Good luck to you. Can't wait to hear how everything goes!

Yes that's true but I can't help but freak out just a little lol I keep asking my husband, "Did I miss hearing nothing but liquids the day before?" Lol I will just die if they cancel my surgery I don't think I could go through this whole process again!!! Once is plenty for me. Good luck with bathroom issues at least you won't have any issues after surgery for a while. Again I will be thinking if you and good luck!!

Oh no you are fine, I just hadn't thought about that!!! Truly he did tell me to please not eat any Halloween candy though lol and I didn't. I do not want any complications. I appreciate hearing others situations that's how we learn. You did give her good advice though you were just thinking of her well being . Thanks for the well wishes!!

I'm so nervous. I just had my endo done and I was so nervous for that! It was not a big deal at all. Hope the surgery's like that!
