What did you do a day before surgery?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was on a monday and I spent the whole sunday cleaning, did all the laundry and made food for my husband for the week. Finished packing my bag and went over a list of things my hubby would have to do while I was in the hospital.

For the people who ate stuff....were you on an all liquid diet then took the day off?

I was only on liquids the day before surgery. No 2 weeks for me and I had no bowel prep. ;)

The day before I did housework and laundry. I was exhausted when I went to bed but was so excited that I was up ALL night! When I got to the hospital I was so tired that I kept falling asleep during all of the preparations the nurses were doing.

I had my surgery 2 hours away from where I lived, reason why I decided to book a room with the hospital hotel. I had to do the mag flush and being on the road was the last thing I needed.

So yeah, I used those 24hrs before surgery to relax. Glad I did so. Resting my mind and body before such a major surgery helped a lot.

It was Easter Sunday, my surgeon told me to eat light and take the laxative @ 6 pm. I stayed home all day just tinkering around the house, I did not want to chance it having Easter dinner with my family. I had to be in the hospital @ 6 a.m. so I went to bed early. It was a quiet and relazing day for me.

I worked a half day, just to be busy. Then I scheduled a mani/pedi for the afternoon. That evening was all about the cleansing. They told me it would only take an hour or two, but four hours later I was still running to the bathroom! Was totally worth it!!

My surgery was on a Monday. I went to church Sunday and watched the Hallmark and Lifetime channel movies the day before. Got up early and went to the hospital Monday morning at 5:30am for the surgery! Nothing adventuresome. Now I did have a big dinner the day before my liver shrink diet! I started my diet on a Monday and it was Easter Sunday the day before. I had a huge meal!! Lol. Glad to day I did excellent on the liver shrink diet and lost 16 pounds. I'm now 21 weeks out today and I've lost a total of 76.5 pounds! Good Luck!

Three days preop. I start the clear liquid tomorrow.... I have been doing pretty well on the 6 day liquid protein' date=' though I did crack on Friday and ate a can of low fat mushroom Soup, drank a bunch of juice, and ate one crouton... Hope that won't be an issue...[/quote']

You made me chuckle...I had to reread your post. You wrote, 'I did crack on Friday' I immediately envisioned the rock form of cocaine and you smoking a crack pipe. I even wondered why get the surgery since the crack gonna kill you soon. I needed a good laugh! Good luck with your surgery

After I wrote it and hit send, I read the same thing too! I promise... No crack here. But that one crouton did taste pretty darn great. B-) <note to self, reread before you hit send.>

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
