diet before surgery?

After you have your date and have your pre-op visit out of the way, what kind of diet do you have?

What I'm asking is in the hours immediately before surgery to get your stomach & intestines ready for the surgery...  Do you have several days of clear liquids or what?

I will be in San Diego the week before surgery and wasn't even thinking about what pre-op diet I might be on.  If my liquid pre-op diet is only 24 to 48 hours I'll be good.  I come home from CA on the 11th and my surgery is the 13th.

Anyone no what Dr. B typically has is patients do?

 

Thanks!

Not sure what your dr will require my pre-op diet was 10days before surgery.

Continue on your pre-op diet until 24 hours before and then it is clear liquids only, no red or purple, for 24 hours.

What Nancy said, so have fun in San Diego, however a word of warning, if you should gain weight Dr. B will cancel your surgery right there with your gown on and IV intact. So be careful. Rita

I KNOW!!  that's why I'm trying to lose as much as possible now!  He told me to maintain.  Hopefully I can lose enough that I won't "gain" any on my trip!

NO last suppers in San Diego!  Maintain your weight loss so you don't get cancelled on the day of surgery.  You will do clear liquids for the 24 hours prior to surgery- and avoid anything with red or blue dyes.

Have a blast in San Diego!

I will try to not over-do it...  But, I want me some yummy REAL mexican food!  Not that Tex-Mex stuff like around here!  OH, and their Sangria's and Margaurita's!!  UGH..  to die for!

But, all in moderation.  I don't want to be dehydrated!

What they all said, Dot! You've come this far not to blow it by eating well in SF! LOL Eggface from the other boards lives in Cali but not sure which part.

Absolutely no red or blue dyes and stay on your diet. It's a good thing I had surgery when I did because I was getting huuuungry!!

The no red dye will be hard for me.  I like me my red crystal light!
