Perhaps you could elaborate. I didn't have a fasting phase.

Fasting phase? The only fasting I've had to do is for labs, for my upper GI X-ray, and for my endoscopy = and of course nothing after midnight day of surgery.

They told me I had to fast at least 24 hours before but I friend of mine did 2 weeks.

If its for 24 hours blitz the house from top to bottom.

Drink lots of Water

Prepare for surgery, pack bag, sort out kitchen.

Go for a long walk.

Get support from here.

Go see a film (take lots of water)

Have a long soak in the bath.

Have the attitude of, "I can do this" not "I'm going to be angry".

Best of luck!!

Your friend didn't fast for 2 weeks. They were probably put on a preop diet of Protein Shakes to shrink their liver. I did Protein shakes for 16 days and then Clear Liquids only for 24 hours prior and nothing at all 12 hours prior. The 12-24 hour fast prior to surgery is pretty much universal. I did this for every surgery and most bloodwork I've ever had as well as colonoscopies. Of course you'll be hungry but it's only 1 day. Just gotta Suck it up.

I was on clear liquids the day before surgery and nothing by mouth after midnight. Please get clarification from your team.

Per the commercial, I was going to tell you "When you are not yourself, have a Snicker's bar", but that wouldn't be appropriate today.
