Am I the only one with a one-day pre-op diet?

[burtonbn 19]

I'm scheduled for surgery June 9th and my doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet. Just Clear liquids the day before surgery. I'm worried about going from suddenly eating whatever I want (pre-op) to only being able to drink liquids for a few weeks after surgery (post-op), so I'm going ahead (with my Drs permission) and slowly introducing Protein shakes into my diet. I'm hoping the week before surgery to just eat one full meal a day and replace the others with fluids. That way it wont be such a HUGE shock to my body, or my mind.

I'm still trying to figure out what to eat for my "last meal"- has anyone else started considering that yet too?

Good luck to those of you with dates coming up soon! Only three weeks left for me!

I am already trying to eliminate the junk food from my diet and eat frequent small meals, plus get off some weight since my BMI is well over 60. I ordered some Protein shakes and bars and am even using up some of the TON of Nutrisystem food I have left from years ago (you don't WANT to eat large portions of THAT stuff)! I lost 85 pounds on NS a few years ago and gained it all back PLUS MORE.

Surgery will probably be several months from now but since I weighed in at 385 pounds 2 weeks ago, I could lose 50 pounds and STILL lots to lose. Past attempts have shown I can take it off but not keep it off for long.
