My surgery was on Friday morning 7am, per the nurses instructions, I had not eaten since dinner on Thursday, I had nothing on Friday except some water Friday evening, when they brought be breakfast on Saturday morning, I was hungry and looking forward to maybe some scrambled eggs, toast, etc., I was brought beef broth, jello, coffee and some OJ, nothing solid, when I asked they said the reason was in case I had to be rushed back into surgery, they wanted nothing in my stomach, I didn’t get really solid food until 4-5 days after surgery.
Yikes! That is a long time. I could lose a little weight, but wouldn’t want to have to do it like that.
