You are lucky you don't have to do a bowel prep! I'm just glad i didn't have to do the whole jug just 4 glasses. Funny how every surgeon has such different preps.

Surgery.

I get my sleeve tomorrow and I'm in a bit of a panic. I lost my info sheet that told me what to eat when. I know as of 2 days before it was all protein shakes and apple sauce and cream of wheat. Can I eat that today? I'm reading that people were eating only clear liquids and starting to freak out because I drank muscle milk this morning and was starting to drink my bolhouse coffee protein drink with a scoop of other protein.

Why do I loose everything!! blurg.

What have your doctors told you to do?

Every doctor seems so different. My doctor has had me on two weeks of protein shakes two days of clear liquids and i had to do a bowel prep of for glasses of golytely yesterday. Surgery tomorrow at 11:00 I have to be at the hospital at 8!

I get my sleeve tomorrow too..no bowel prep, just clear liquids all day today...

I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am. Ugh I hope I didn't mess it up by drinking protein. I better go scour my car for the letter they gave me.

oh and I burnt my lip really bad on the chicken broth so that's keeping my hunger at bay. :rolleyes:

I get my sleeve tomorrow to.Today only clear liquids.If you had a shake

I would just drink a lot of water.I've been drinking chicken broth, surgar

free Popsicles,and water.Were almost there!

My surgery is Tuesday. I am so ready! This pre op diet is not my friend.

I'm know I'm the odd person out, but I HATE drinking water. I actually just don't like drinking liquids at all. I could easily go all day and realize i've drank 8-12 ounces of any liquid. I think it's because I'm ADHD and forget the water is there to drink.

I guess I'll start my after surgery plan now...to set a time to go off every 5 minutes to remind me to take a sip of water. That or every-time a new song comes on my ipod I sip .

good luck everyone.

That's a good idea. What ever it takes. I don't much like water either, but I like crystal light.There are many flavors to pick from.My favorite is tea with peach flavor.Give it

a try. Anything to get the water down Lol. I'm really excited to finally get this weight off. I think I've been on every diet and excercise program. Good luck, tomorrow!

I gag at all artificial sweeteners.

I was pretty calm about this but I just went to the grocery store and it made me sad and scared. People who are writing about how hungry they are post op are freaking me out. I really hope I'm not because I keep telling myself that after surgery I won't feel these hunger pains like I have today.

There's a part of me who wants to run for the hills and eat Italian food and never show up at the hospital. It's a very small part mind you. very small. I know I'm making the right choice for me and my son and our lives but....

I think all of us would love to run to hills for Italian food and more! :-)Right now I'm so hungry.My daughter made my family an Italian dinner, but low fat. I don't care it smelled so good, so I just went to my bedroom while they ate dinner.I know I'm making the right choice.

Now I'm panicking. My surgery is in the morning. I have to be there at 6:00. But, I had no prep to do. I just can't eat after 12:00. I've been drinking protein shakes for a week, but no clear liquids or bowel prep. What if there is food in my stomach? Yuck?? Any suggestions for the night before? Good luck to all of my fellow April Sleevers!! I'll post a "Post-Op" message!
