Havent done pre-op not eating thing!

My surgery date is December 14 - all my friends and family are taking me out to eat because they know its gonna be a long time before I can eat "normal" again. Am I just screwing myself up for post-op?????

Hello-- I did cheat slightly only the first couple of days of liquid diet. After day 3 I was fine and did not even want food. You can do it! I lost 20 lbs before the surgery and it went very well because the liver had shrank. From here on out, try to do liquids and you will feel very good after surgery. I felt wonderful the next day. Up doing everything! Jessica

What kind of surgery did you have done? My instructions say to start eating lighter - 5 days before surgery. Im confused!!!

I had the LAP BAND. I had protein shake 4 oz 4 times daily and sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles as much as I wanted. Also chicken broth and cold have 2 cups juice per day. The shake I had was very good. It was Designer WHey from Wal Mart about 15.00 Jessica

Im having laproscopic gastric bypass - I guess pre-op is different for the two procedures. Its a count down to my surgery day - 5 more days to the first day of the rest of my life!!!!!! How are you coming along now?
