EmyLou78 11 Posted August 17, 2015 I'm having surgery on the 20th as well. I'm so excited and starting to get a little scared. I'm sooooo sick of this pre surgery diet though. I'm actually looking forward to the liquids only on Wednesday because I'm getting sick of all the veggies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IncredibleShrinkingMan 437 Posted August 17, 2015 Good luck, August sleevers. I would strongly advocate going to Clear Liquids today (which is what I did, three days before). I just wasn't comfortable with the idea of recently eaten food and my stomach being reconstructed. Apart from that, I knew it would help me a great deal with this awful liquid phase from which I am about to graduate on Thursday. I think the glee of being on the doorstep of surgery totally hijacks any hunger sensation within these last 72 hours, and personally, while I had ravenous hunger throughout pre-op, it completely gave up when I closed within three days as your brain has been told things are about to get very different. God bless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmyLou78 11 Posted August 17, 2015 Great advice Sleevy. I was thinking about starting liquid tomorrow instead of Wednesday. Or maybe do liquid for the second half of tomorrow. Good luck transitioning to mush! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
