No pre-op diet for me. I was told I could have whatever I wanted even the night before surgery. I had no ill effects from that during or after surgery.

How are you doing, Diana TX? I had a bad case of cold feet yesterday and would have bolted out of the pre-op area if my best friend hadn't been there to keep me honest. Back home now, and although I'm sore, no problems so far. Hope all is well with you.

My first post here, but my excitement about my surgery on the 22nd has overcome my reticence. Unlike many, I don't have to do a pre-op diet (except for the usual no food or Water after midnight the day before surgery). I am apprehensive about what the first week will be like, but I have several friends who have been down this road ahead of me, so I know that there is a new normal waiting after the liquid diet and the soft, mushy diet. I, too, am in Texas, but I will be having surgery in Houston. I keep thinking of Sept. 22 as my liberation day. I will finally have the opportunity to beat the weight issues I've had all my life.
