So my surgery is Thursday im going through alot of emotions scared nervous excited etc well I have to do the 1 day clear diet does anyone know why some people ger 1 day or 3 day or 2 weeks?

Because surgeon's have their favorite ways of doing things. I was on Optifast for two weeks, but on only Clear Liquids for the day before, and NPO after midnight of surgery day.

I have been on a liquid diet for a week, but no instructions to do clear liquids for 24 hours. Yep, all the docs have their own ideas about pre/post op diet. My surgery is tomorrow.

I am not nervous right now-it's like my brain has decided to block it out like it's not real. Strange I know. Now wed night I'll probably be in full freakout mode lol. I'm not looking forward to being in the hospital either. I don't like relying on others to care for me. I'm afraid of being sick after surgery. And in pain. I'm sure we'll do great. I'm trying to keep a really positive attitude about the whole thing.
