so two days till surgery and my nerves are getting the best of me! any one out there only have to do clear liquids the day before? i did a pre op diet over the last three months and lost 24 pounds! went for my pre op on friday and all he said was clear liquid the day before and obviosly nothing after midnight on monday. thanks in advance for your thought on the clear liquid thing

Only liquids the day before is a blessing. I didn't have to, but I did it voluntarily.

The thought of doing a BM after that surgery seemed REALLY painful to me, and I luckily thanks to only liquids, I never had to.

My surgery is tomorrow & yes I am doing clear liquids 24 hours prior. I'm sipping on my decaf tea now. Mine hasn't been so bad since my surgery is at 1 pm. So, I got to have breakfast & lunch.

This is standard with most doctors. I had one week of liquid diet prior to surgery and then the one day of clear liquids only. I had to start mine the day before Thanksgiving. But I would do it all over again to get where I am right now. I have lost a total of 51 lbs since I started my journey and 43 since surgery. I was sleeved on Dec 1st. I can say i am halfway to goal and only 2 months out. This has been an awesome journey so far.
