I didn't have a preop period diet, I just had to follow the NUT plan until the day before then just Clear Liquids and then nothing at all the night before surgery

I am taking one week as well.

I know of other clinics that don't require anything but clear the night before. Unfortunately though my clinic did a ten day liquid diet.

I have heard of this, but this was not my experience. My surgeon preferred a strict 2 week liquid diet to shrink the liver.
But yes, I have heard other people say they did not have a pre-op diet.

I wasn’t required a pre-op diet either. Nothing to eat after 12 night of surgery and 12 oz of a carbonated drink the morning of.

I didn't have a pre-op liquid diet. I lost 99 pounds during my six month insurance-required pre-op diet program, so my surgeon told me that I did not need the pre-op liquid diet. He does require it for most people.

Did anyone live alone when they had surgery? My mom is going to come and stay with me, but I can’t see her staying more than a week.
is there anything I should know about or consider? I have a 15 minute walk in my city to work everyday from my apartment. If I am experiencing too much pain to walk, I will get an Uber. I’ve heard of making sure that things that I need aren’t too low to the ground or too high as bending and reaching can be an painful.

Well I married a man that drinks every day and I don't think I realized that in the beginning...or maybe love is blind. Now I want to drink several times a week. This is not like me at all.I do feel that I need help, but don't want that out in the medical field since I am in the medical field.I know that sounds like an excuse...maybe it is,?????
