Dinner The Night Before



Recommended Posts

Dr Garcia instructions say you may have dinner the night before, has any one ate the night before surgery? Will I risk anything by doing so?

I don't recall that it said you could have a big dinner. I was on Clear Liquids the day before; Breakfast was light, then clear liquids the rest of the day. Maybe you should double check with your coordinator.

Yes, my surgeon told us to go and enjoy our last big meal. We had to fast for several hours the day before surgery before for testing and nothing after 10 pm I think . Funny thing, I was so excited and yes a little nervous I didn't really eat much of it. I was glad I had brought some peanut m&m's for dessert though. And I had a last coke at dinner.< /p>

i was instructed to eat my pre op diet for 2 weeks. 2 shakes a day and 1 sensible meal. The day before surgery i was able to eat lunch (whatever I wanted) just nothing past 3pm.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
