Preparing for Surgery this Monday and looking for some advice!

Hi Everyone! (25F)

I'm new here but was recommended this subreddit by my stoma nurse. I have had a diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis from age 16, and multiple complications later, I finally made the decision to have a Sub-total Colectomy with End Ileostomy. My surgery is early Monday morning and I am currently writing out a plan to follow tomorrow, (with preload drinks etc). I am unsure about what foods are good to eat the day before surgery, I don't have to start fasting until midnight Sunday (tomorrow), and my surgery is at 7.45am Monday. Does anyone have any suggestions about good last meals that won't upset my colon too much? Also just any general tips about surgery/recovery are greatly appreciated, as I'm pretty nervous! Thank you c:
