I got my surgery date of Jan. 22 & have everything scheduled pre-op anesthesia appointment and all!! Im excited but nervous about the post diet (when to add what). Im on my liquid preop diet and hating it!! I woke up diaphoretic and feeling miserable!! Thanks God for friends Im gonna make it!!

From what I'm hearing it depends on the surgeon. Seems that most of those with long liquid diets don't have to because they're already "liquidy" to put it politely. I only had two days of liquids so I had to do it in order to ensure I was "cleaned out" for surgery. It sucks let me tell you' date=' although there is not much I wouldn't do to have this surgery. The drink is gross and running to the bathroom all day is no picnic in the park either. Just keeping my eye on the prize... [/quote']

My surgeon Dr. Katsis at Bailey hasnt required a bowel prep.... yaay but Im on a 2 week liquid diet (carnation instant Breakfast no sugar)

Im on day 4 of my diet so far I've heard people talk about a bowl prep I dont think I have to do one. Is everyone doing one?

Hi Fiusha, I'm on day 5 of my diet today with you and I wouldn't have bowl prep. So I guess just depends on surgeon. Best wishes

I am alive' date=' awake and doing well. I have been virtually pain free, only issue that will resolve is abdominal cavity gas. Hope everyone is well, and Good luck surgery buds.[/quote']

The gas pain has been moving up my chest, lots of burping.. Hope everyone else is doing well!
