Im having my surgery on Jan 4th...on pre op diet now and its day 3 and its pretty hard not eating...Anyone know if were allowed to eat anything solid?I ndont remember and drs office is closed till Mon...

I guess it depends a bit on the doctor. If you are on the full liquid diet as I will be 2 weeks before my surgery, there is not much that I can eat (solid food). I will be able to eat leafy green vegetables (unlimited) as well as steamed veggies. Nothing else except 3-4 Protein shakes a day and Water, sugar free drinks and popsicles, bouillon, and SF gelatins. I am going to make up a HUGE batch of chicken broth and SF Jello before I start.

AGAIN - it depends on your doctor though so don't go by my eating plan. I think you would be OK with the popsicles and gelatins though.

Thank you. Yes, time is flying and slow at the same time. I'm excited, but confused with all the info to remember.

I know there are a lot of us getting sleeved tomorrow. I'm making myself so anxious. Anyone have any advice to overcome this anxiety?

Surgery was a success. I was a little nauseous yesterday on and off but not too bad. I was out of bed and walking around the hospital floor last night. I can home today still sleepy but no pain at all. A little uncomfortable but not pain. I've been trying my best to sip my liquids. So far it's only been sugar free Jello and Water. I didn't care for the chicken broth at the hospital. Tomorrow I can start in full liquids including Protein Shakes.

How did everyone else do?

Glad that you are doing fine now you are officially on the other side of this journey. I have been waiting to hear from those of you that had your surgeries yesterday. Congrats and Happy New Year!
