Hello - I am new here.

My surgery date is 3/24/08.

I am on my 5th day of pre-op diet. I have done really well except I need to drink more Water (only taking in about 48 - 50 oz per day).

I do have the urge to cheat - cravings for Mexican food today - it's Friday and we use to go out to eat at our favorite Mexican Restaurant on Fridays - but I will make it without cheating!!!

I know I will learn so much for all of you!!

Have a great day,

Karen

Karen, I have my surgery on the 18th and the doctor did not mention any pre-surgery diet. Am I suppose to be on something.

From what I have read here, doctors are very different in the Pre-Op diet. Seems like most doctors do require the Clear Liquids the day before. Did yours mention anything about a liquid diet one day prior?

Best of luck to you on the 18th. Please let me know how you are doing!!

Karen, My surgery was yesterday and suprisingly enough, I'm doing really well. I've been on liquids all day yesterday and starting this morning. I'm not hungry, but the areas on my stomach are a bit sensitive. My sister is staying with me and we are having a blast just haning out. My mother has my twins for Spring break, so far so good. Best of luck on your upcoming surgery. Marisa

Marisa - I am so glad you are doing ok. Just sore?? Did you spend the night at the hospital?? I have so many questions!!

Anyway, take care and get rest. I am so excited for you and excited for mine on Monday.

Have a great day,

Karen
