I only have a seven day pre-op and will begin that on Tuesday. I was doing so well a few wks ago weening myself down. I was completely off of Diet Coke and drinking 64-70 oz water daily and had cut way back on carbs and was cutting back on portion controls as well in order to hopefully prevent such a "cutting cold turkey" shock to the system. But my husband is a Government Contractor working overseas and came home on leave a few wks ago and it went downhill fast. 
Thought I would just start up again once he was to leave tomorrow, but he got his leave extended and is now home until Friday. I do love that I get a few extra days with him home, but the pre-op diet is going to be a challenge I think. We will see. Crossing fingers!! ha ha

I agree with Tammy, you definitely should tell him. This will be a big indicator of the type of man he really is for you. Good luck!! Will be praying for your peace of mind and strength to get it all out to him.

My surgery is also 6/21. If you are having it done laproscopically, then it would definitely benefit you to have the pre-op liquid diet. This will help shrink your liver so the surgeon can get to the stomach/intestines more easily. Some people are required 5-6 wks and some are only required 2-3 days. Whatever you are able to do will only benefit you.
I am having similar questions regarding the bowel cleanse. Until another poster mentioned this on a post today, I did not realise that my surgeon never brought it up on my pre-op apt last wk. Was wondering how important/beneficial this was. I was thinking of just going to the store and getting my own stuff anyway. Is there anyone else that did not have to do the bowel cleanse?

This is what I have on my list so far. I know there is a lot of things I may never use, but would rather have it in case I need it...
hair brush, hair tie for longer hair, deoderant, insurance. Info, ID, etc, tooth brush, WLS binder, toothpaste and toothrbrush, PJ Bottoms/shorts to wear under gown for when we walk the halls, Protein Drinks (in case I cannot tolerate the hospitals and in case i need them for ride home), socks, Neck Pillow, Gas-X strips, snap-front bra, chapstick, puke bucket for ride home (keep in car for ride home), pads, wash rag for face on ride home (wet before leaving hospital and keep in ziplock in case you get sick or nauseated), lotion, water bottle (for ride home), book/magazine (most say they never needed them, but just in case), shampoo and hair conditioner (I hate the hospital kind, cell phone/charger, underwear (several pair), crystal light packets, loose pants and top or loose clothing to wear home, pillow for during hospital stay and ride home to hold on belly, slip-on shoes.
I also read a poster comment that when they got nauseated in the hospital, the nurse took an alcohol swab and rubbed it under her nose and it went away immediately. I plan on bringing some of those with me just in case.

Iron and also electrolytes. If you like Gatorade it may help. I HATE that stuff. Keep up on your water.

Thanks for your reply. I will be thinking about you on Tuesday.
Thanks for the suggestion. I hope and pray that it is easier than I have made it out to be in my head.
How are you coming on your pre-op? My weekend has been a *****allenging.
