***Just got my surgery date APRIL 28th***

[Idahomommy04 1]

I just received my surgery date call and its less that 2 weeks away! A little late notice jeez but I promise I'm not complaining so I guess I better start my liquid diet tomorrow. They literally told me nothing but I'm going to start tomorrow just in case. If any one has any suggestions or helpful hints on anything with the liquid diet or what to bring to the hospital besides the obvious, it would be appreciated.

The doctor didn't give you any instructions? My surgery is the same date. My doctor has me on a pre-op diet and a day before surgery all liquids. I'm going to do 2days of liquid. it's all am nervous but also excited.

Hi! Kris for how long you are going to do the pre-op diet NOW??? My surgeon told me to do the same as you two days of just liquids! But my surgery is on the April 25! I was told when I went to my seminar that we didn't have do two weeks or more weeks of the pre-op diet so I was going to start on Monday. But today when I went to my pre-op appt with my surgeon he told me I gain weight but I don't know how much and I'm freaking out! Last night I had dinner at a sea food buffet so I was super thirsty after so I drank a bunch of Water and only went to the restroom once! But I'm scared now! How about if it's not water retention? Would it do a big difference if I start today or Monday???

Hi Sassy, my preop diet was 2 Protein Shakes Breakfast and lunch with 3 yogurts for Snacks, and dinner is a piece of meat with veggies. I had to cut back on the Protein due to my stomach hurting and digestive system. I am watching my food intake and what I'm eating. More Fiber now. I believe you should start now. Also start making it a habit to not drink and eat. It's hard and I'm learning each and everyday. And yes it will make a difference to start today. Water and physical activities make a difference

More fiber and my surgeon knows. I liked my protein shakes but don't like having abdominal pain and digestive problems.
