are you doing a cleanse tomorrow or anything? I'm just doing light meals tomorrow - mostly Protein shakes...and then nothing after midnight..have to get through a stressful day of meetings first tomorrow though...

He found a hernia and because of past surgeries my stomach is swollen and not allowing very much liquids to go down. Lot of reflux.

oh that doesn't sound like fun but hopefully the swelling will go down soon!

Hey my surgery is at 11! We really are sleeve buddies, lol. I hope we don't get postponed. 4pm is a long time to wait! I go to Clear Liquids only all day tomorrow (been on Protein Shakes and other low carb low fat liquids and soft foods since Thanksgiving), then only Water from midnight tomorrow until 7am Thursday.

oh wow - yes we are!! I give you all the credit in the world to be on liquids this long pre-surgery. My surgeon seems a bit on the easy side - hopefully I'm still thinking he was easier on the other side lol! I hope we don't get postponed either!!

I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow but I'm jammed with meetings all day...so I guess it's good I'm not doing some sort of elimination thing lol...are you working tomorrow?

No, I'm off tomorrow. I work overnights so I took a couple days off beforehand to reset to a day schedule. I figure I'll have to be awake during the day for the next couple of weeks so I might as well get a head start!

Well my surgery is at 8:30 at least you get to sleep in if you do sleep at all being excited and nervous. Yeah I don't think I could wait till afternoon. I am glad it is in the am.

I have been on the liquid diet for the past two weeks, Protein Shake in the morning and evening, and sf Jello or pudding in between and nothing else but Water or the Powerade zero. I can't have anything 4 hrs before surgery and clear liquids before that for 12 hrs.

I just started my 2 week liquid diet today.....so my surgery is the 20th. I am freaking out about making it for 2 weeks on nothing but Protein Drinks Jello and yogurt. I am just trying to keep my mind off of it and ignore the clock. I wish i had a doctor with an easier pre op. I am not in this position because i have stellar self control! I am expecting a few really horrible days and then hopefully it will get easier!
