Did anyone have a "last dinner" outside of the fast on their last day before surgery?

nope - come midnight, nothing but water till surgery at 10am.

Interesting.

On the VSG board I go to, most of the people have to do a BOWEL CLEANSE. Personally I think that's a bit crazy. We're not getting our bowels operated on, just our stomach.

But I am supposed to be on clears the day before and also have to take some MoM -- it's to help prevent constipation from all the meds they'll end up giving us.

I don't mind a day of clears. It beats a 2 week liquid diet.

I was on a liquid only diet for 19 days prior to getting my band, talk about pure he**. But, I was allowed my lovely liquids up until midnight the night before my surgery.

My doc's instructions were a modified 'mushies' diet for 2 days before, nothing by mouth after midnight on the day of surgery. So now 'last supper' blow outs, or even tastes.
