    Hello all doing well. Day one wasn't as bad as I thought. I've been on ice chips and water all day. Will start broth. Pain was ,moderate but manageable. Mostly in center of chest from hernia repair.

There are many Dr's that do not require any pre op diet. I am sure you will be fine. It just means that it's your time!!!!

I've got all my medicines,Vitamins,and shakes how about you

I started doing the pre op diet an on the second week I ate solid food. After surgery my doctor was very upset and said that he had to go around the the liver and that I didn't care for the risks I put myself thru by not following the diet the entire 2 weeks. So my advice is if he told you to do the diet, do it. Avoid complications and an upset doctor.

Well I wasn't told not to eat solid foods just light carbs besides I was moved up by a week so hopefully I'll be fine!

You should be ok. Our surgeon only requires a two day liquid diet which starts tomorrow. You will be fine. I will most likely see you on Wed. Not sure what time until they call me. Did they give you a time yet?
