No Pre-Op diet required so when should I stop eating food

Well I must do clear liquids all day on Wednesday...day before surgery. I have been low carbing for several weeks and have lost weight. But I am on Thursday and was just putting myself on shakes to clear my stomach, etc but one I'm starving and two I'm thinking why torture myself. I really want some sushi. My surgery is Thursday morning what do you think?

My doctor said no large meals 2 days before surgery.  Sushi won't make a difference as long as you don't eat a ton of it.  Remember, you Will be able to have it after surgery, so don't feel the need to stuff yourself :)

Good luck and congratulations!!!

I had surgery on 3/29/11, which was on a Tuesday. I ate the whole weekend, like it was the last supper! That Monday I was on liquids all day and that was it. Its ok to enjoy a little sushi, don't starve yourself.

I am not required to do any pre-op diet either, but like you I went ahead and did it (doing it) anyway. I had a "last meal" of a ribeye, steak fries, ice cream etc...But the 1st day of my personal pre-op I thought....OH NO! SUSHI!!! Its even in my blog here on OH, I LOVE sushi and should have had it as I understand rice (especially the sticky sushi rice) will no go down well.
I even prepare my own sushi and have sushi parties....That is the one food that I will miss.
I say go for the sushi! Have all your favorite rolls and splurge on some Hamachi...
Sushi will "clear out" fairly quick anyway.

Good luck with your surgery and have a dynamite roll for me!
