liquid diet two days before surgery

i was floored when i read i had to do a liquid diet two days before my tt.  did everybody else have to do this?  of course better safe than sorry, but i thought my liquid diet days were over. lol  vick

I didn't have to do liquids but I'm sure you'll do great with yours!!
Good luck with your plastics, I hope you have an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery.

thanks for your support. vick

Sounds crazy.  I've had three rounds of plastics, including an LBL and did nothing except avoid eating 8 hours before surgery. 

I just did my pre-op for my TT (fleur-de-lis) yesterday and they said nothing about liquids.....actually told me to enjoy my meal the night before (but nothing gassy), and no food after midnight.  Very standard.
The only difference I can think of is because you have the hernia problem.  They might want to be sure nothing solid is in your intestinal track or colon just in case they find the hernia is a challenge to repair.  Only my guess ..........call and ask the Dr why they want you to do this.

Best wishes!

Hi Vickie O
I did not have to do a liquid diet before surgery, but I did one after for about a week,

but can do it.  Are you so ready to jump on that table and get it done.?
