Angie413 47 Posted October 13, 2014 Anyone else?!? I have been going thru this 2 week pre-op diet with out a hitch cooking meals for my family and it not bothering me in the least I have felt so strong and amazed at my will power and change in mind set.. Until today ... Only Clear Liquids today as I am having surgery tomorrow morning, I just made dinner for the fam and I am starving I want something. I need my Protein Shakes back. Never thought i would say that. I don't know how anyone did clear liquids for any longer than 1 day. Kudos to you. I just can't wait to go to bed for this day to be over...

KarenF1972 78 Posted October 13, 2014 Same here. My stomach has not felt great all day. The hospital just called with my arrival time. 12:15! Which means by the time I get back there and get all set up, surgery isn't going to be until like 2:30. I am sooooo irritated. liquid diet for a week. Clear liquids today and nothing to eat or drink after midnight! Ugh!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angie413 47 Posted October 13, 2014 I was originally scheduled for 2:30 I told the scheduler I am a diabetic was that a good idea for me to wait all day she moved me to the first of the day.. So have to be there at 5:45am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NavyMom2006 119 Posted October 13, 2014 Hang in there everyone. That is arguably the worst part of the whole process! I was lucky and had a 7:30 a.m. surgery, but you're all right - go to bed as early as possible!! After tomorrow it will be behind you and you can start your new life!! Good luck to all of you!!

MindyLynn5 21 Posted October 13, 2014 yes keep us posted, very excited to hear how you do for surgery, and the other person too having surgery tomorrow please. I am not having mine until nov 24th, feels like a long time. I have anxiety, and bipolar so meds are a must for me. I am nervous about being nervous. Oh Lord help me. I hope they could just do mine early so I won't be having panic attacks. But Im not diabetic and they take people in as medically needed first. I understand that. They said if I am having a panic attack they will give me liquid valium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muzikgal21 12 Posted October 13, 2014 I have been on my pre op diet for a week now and all I have been doing is throwing up. Every Protein Shake makes me nauseous, diet ginger ale won't even suffice. I don't really know how I'm going to make it through another week of this.... AND then still not be able to eat anything for several weeks after surgery.
