Got my surgery date today!

[lavidaloca 2]

I'm so excited! FINALLY got my date! 11/30!

Has anyone had a 1 day pre-op diet? I've heard my program only requires a pre-op diet the day before surgery and not 1 or 2 weeks but I'm not sure - I'll find out at pre-op class. Is that a thing or does that sound too good to be true?

TIA!

Congratulations!!! I have heard of that.. a friend of mine her pre op diet is small meals each day. My diet is two week liquids.. Depends on the surgeon.

Thanks! I'm hoping my last real meal can be Thanksgiving but I'll deal either way!

From what i gather the pre op diet is to prep liver 4 surgery. Its to shrink liver just a tad so that it doesnt get disturbed as stomach is pulled out. I was on 5 week pre op diet. I learned alot about my addiction during this time. Best of luck to ya!!!!
