What to do 1 day before surgery?



Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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.

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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
