5 days and counting .........................getting really nervous worried about all kinds of stuff.   I did not have to be on a liquid diet I am winding down starting today as far as what I am eating.  I will start on liquids, jello, pudding, etc today then tomorrow I will transition to clear liquids and continue till Friday. I have a slow digestive system so in order to get the best benefit after the surgery is to have at least 5 days of no food.   A few of my major concerns is to develop a bowel obstruction or the conversion to open surgery once they are in due to scar tissue from my previous surgery.  I know alot of people on the forum have done really well however, most are alot younger than I am, my age even though I am not that old at 52 is againist me.  Well, I will write as the week moves on.
