What to do 1 day before surgery?

[tronicia 0]

Today is Sunday and my surgery is on Tuesday. I'm not sure what I should eat on Monday. .. should I eat very light so nothing is too heavy in my stomach? I know I can't have any food after a certain time Monday night but I'm not sure what to eat at the beginning and during the day on Monday.

I had a nice Breakfast the day before. Egg beaters veg omelette w turkey sausage and a half bagel. Then it was Clear Liquids till midnight. I so wanted to got to Denny's or IHOP for a food funeral of sorts but thought better of it.

Wow...you get to eat before surgery?? Lucky you! Like many on this site, it was liquids only for two weeks prior to surgery and about ten days post. Heck, I'd have me a rooty tooty fresh and frooty...lol!

me too liz, I had liquids and Protein Bars before surgery for 2 weeks. But I lost 10 lbs. didn't think I would ever get to eat again either but guess what I can eat just not as much and I make better choices.

My dr follows south beach program and required 5% weightloss prior to scheduling surgery. Been following that program (lifestyle) since September and lost nearly twenty pounds, quit smoking and made it through the holidays too. So when it came to last week prior to surgery was asked to go back onto phase 1 (no carbs/sugars) till surgery but that was it. Kind of glad since I've pretty much been on full liquids for the last two weeks (sleeved 1/19). Except now I'm afraid to try new things afraid it will make me not feel well. I really need to focus on eating slowwww.

I was on liquids only.

My surgery was 8:30 on a Monday morning.

My final Dr's appointment and weigh-in was the friday before.

If I did not meet the required weight loss, then no surgery Monday.

Saturday, I went out for my "Last Meal" , picked a place I knew I would never step foot in again, and had a real FINAL ALL YOU CAN EAT pig out....

Sunday I fasted, nothing but Water.

Monday's surgery went without a hitch.
