Has anyone doctor require a laxative day or two before surgery? My doctor has not mentioned it and seems a little weird.

Yes, I had to drink 1 bottle of Miralax the day before surgery. Maybe it's on your paperwork??

I think most don't. But if you know you have a slow gut you might want to anyway. I did a 'bowel prep' but dr didn't require it. Sooo glad I did, but that might just be me.

Yeah I would too because after surgery you will NOT want to be up using the toilet right away...

I couldn't eat after I think 5pm, had to drink Milk of Magnesia (shudder), and then couldn't have anything, not even Water, after 7pm, in prep for my surgery the following morning at 8am

I had only Clear Liquids after 5pm and also had to drink a bottle of magnesium citrate

I was on a full liquid diet for two weeks, clear liquids the evening before, then nothing after midnight. No bowel prep.

Thanks guys... since I have been having a lot of issues with slow gut.. started a laxative... surgery in 4 days... been on liquid diet for two weeks and have been sick and no weight lost.. I am a little nervous because I need to lose 8 more lbs. Have not been able to eat or drink anythng without horrible stomach cramps. I think this has been caused by my um.. slow gut...I figured from all the Protein.< /p>

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
