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.

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.

Did u do your surgery

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.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
