Mine was soft foods...no starch or sugars...for instance soups,cottage cheese or yogurt and a small piece of fish in broth with spinach....On the day before all clear liquids only I started my laxative 2 days before surgery.I took collace clear pills, Miralax and citrate of magnesia.My system was clean and clear for surgery.

Revision surgery hours away!
No appetite....And that ravenous feeling is gone...I feel full .Not thinking about food.That sensation is gone....not craving chocolate...it feels different....like a comfortable fullness.....never had that before...oh and believe me I ain't telling any of them anything at all at work.My official story is my excuse for everything.I have a hiatal hernia ...,which I actually did ....and that's been giving me issues.I did my pre op without to much questions because it was a hernia that they needed to fix.....end of story...,and as for my relatives.My mother and father....and aunt because she lives with me....none of her business either....I actually told my best friend and that's it!!!!!!No one other than my parents know about the band....so even my best friend just knows about this latest procedure and that's it.I almost didn't tell her.. Yeah I know...everybody has too much to say about anything ....and they can't know my business....at work.no way.
