Question, HELP

I am scheduled for my surgery this Tuesday and I am suppossed to be on a clear liquid diet on Monday...I have a list of basic clear liquids....and I was also told to eat light on Sunday...not heavy meals. So, should I just do the clear liquids on Sunday also? I do not know the purpose of the clear liquids...I mean they are doing stomach surgery so they probably want it to be very empty..?? I know these are questions I should have asked my doctor earlier but I think my nerves are making my head spin with new questions...!!! What have some of you done for your diet the day or two before? Mariam

My doctor requires me to be on a liquid diet (high protein) for 2 weeks prior (I'm one week into it today!). This is supposed to help shrink the liver and get it out of the way. The day prior is supposed to be clear liquids. Best wishes on your surgery!

Hi, I only had to do liquids for 2 days before surgery, I ate sugar free popsicles and had some jello when I felt realy hungry. Just drink as much as you can cause you want to be as hydrated as possible before surgery. Just keep sipping on something throughout the day, thats what I did. Goodluck to you on your big day! I know how you feel right now since I was doing the exact same thing 1 year ago. Take care
