Make sure you do your 3 day clear liquid and daily laxitive pre-op diet and you should be okay, just take extra panties in case

I haven't been told to do lax. But im definitely going to ask. Thanks for the info!!

My 3 day pre op diet is Water and yogurt. Has anyone else have this type?

[gettinsleeved 39]

I have to do 2 weeks of 2 Protein Shakes a day and a protein/salad for dinner, then 3 days prior to surgery I have to be on Clear Liquids and take a daily laxative. Water and yogurt sounds much better

I am confused with my pre op diet. I ordered the pre op package through OCC but that is for 15 days. I was under the understanding that I didn't have to diet for 15 days. Hmmm. Any suggestions on this. I have a low bMI
