 That's about all I have to say.  I shall be sleeved on the 4th and I am sick of broth.  I mean really, couldn't I just have a bite of yard bird?  lol

Yes, you could have a bite of chicken. Many of us had no pre-op diet to suffer through. All we had was a day of clear fluids the day before surgery. If you're getting light headed or shaky, please eat something.

yes it does suck but it is a means to an end...we had to eat prepacked food that was high in protein and low in carbs..so at least it was more than just broth..

We were on 4 weeks of optifast shakes with one food meal a day.  Surely you can have more than broth?  Anyway, just follow whatever they say for the last 24/48 hrs.  I had the pre-op diet but no bowel prep so I guess it wasn't all bad.

Thanks Linda. As I sit in this motel room, six hours from surgery, hungry as hell, all I can think about is pizza. Lol, not really. What I meant to say is that I'm so glad I found the lightweights. Don't think I'd have ever made it this far without you guys.
