3 days until surgery

[grimsteads]

My husband and I are both scheduled for plication Nov 17th. The pre-op diet has been ok (we only had 7 days to do it).. I hope we can lose the minimum of 5%. What do we drink for the last 2 days before surgery (ie: liquid only)?? Would appreciate comments.

Thanks,

Kevin and Tara

Hi there! I'm scheduled for the 18th yay! I'm getting excited. I had the same question as well so glad you asked. Which hotel are you staying at? I was hoping to find some other people that were going to be there at the same time.

We're staying at the Camino Real. I hope it's nice.

I just followed the same diet - but it was back in 2006, it may have changed - call and ask - they are always really helpful!

Congrats - you'll do great!

Congratulations to both of you. I had it done on 10/21 and wonder now why I didn't do it years ago. SO SIMPLE...NOT REALLY ANY PAIN (besides those crazy gas pains)...no hunger....fine on energy and sleep. It's been 3.5 weeks since mine and I feel great, just crossed over into the 'mushie' food phase...have lost 20 pounds. WOO HOO. You should be getting soooooooooo excited. Your world is about to change.

Thanks denali. Kevin is getting a bit nervous that he won't have lost enough weight and will have to delay surgery. I'm sure he'll be fine though. 2 more days!!!!

Hi everyone, I am going on the 22nd, Dr. Ortiz and staying at the Marriot. Glad this post is here I have so many thought and have found the post informative. How long are you staying after the surgery? I will get there on the 21st. Thanks
