So am having my surgery tomorrow morning and I had samething to eat... does anybody now if they will cancel my surgery????

Are you just on a liquid diet or are you into your fasting period?

I didn't have any preop requirements so if that's the case it is highly unlikely.

Im on liquids only

Be honest with your surgeon. Drink a lot of Water up until the time they told you to stop. This will be your surgeons call.

So - what happened?

I dont now I was doing fine with the jello and than I just had a plate of food ...

Well how much is a plate of food? A whole plate, an over flowing plate? What time is ur surgery? U are not sypposed to have anything for 24 hrs before surgery it helps allow the stomach to become softer for the surgery. Yoy are going to have to tell them or call the hospital where you are having your surgery & ask someone there.

Are you supposed to do a bowel prep tonight?

Yea I will talk to my surgen tomorrow. ..

Yes I had surgery wow 4 weeks ago as of tomorrow. Hmmm didnt think about it until just now. I found it very hard to stay on the liquid diet for 24 hrs but my sister was up visitng from texas with my nieces & nephews & during the day we went to the Water park & kept very busy & the night time I just read a book, played games on the comouter & hung out in the park with the kids til it was very late came home took a shower & went to sleep. Kept water on me the entire time & just drank myself to full. You have to keep urself busy so ur not thinking abt it. I wanted my surgery so bad I was not going to let anythong stand in my way besides for me it was if I cant follow my preop instructions then I deff wont be able to follow my post op because that is forever. Everyone is different but maybe you got scared about having your surgery & could it be possible you ate hoping to not be able to have??? Not accusing you just asking

I am scared I just dont now what happened I will talk to my surgen and see what happends....

I wish you the best & I pray yoy are able to have your surgery. Being scared is fine. I think we all were scared going in to this. It is a major life changing experience but it will be the best one you have ever made. You are going to become a much happier healthier you!!!! The first few days are rough bcuz of the gas pains but that is a small price to pay for what the future is holding for you after the surgery. Buy some gas-x chewables for when you come home & walk walk walk. It helps!!!

I was on a 1,000 calorie diet for three weeks so obviously I had food the day before surgery. They told me nothing other then water from midnight on. The nurses told me they can tell when someone eats a lot of food the day before. As everyone said let your dr know.

You will be fine as long as you havent eaten or drink anything after midnight the night before your surgery.
