Can anyone tell me if there is anything I can take to help with cramping on my pre-op liquid diet?

When is your surgery? I remember taking Imodium I think as late as 24 hours before surgery.

Also Gas-X might help

Are you drinking enough Water at this point? That can cause cramping in a severe way. If it continues I would call your doctors office and get a recommendation since you do not want to take anything that could jeopardize your surgery. All doctors are different.

Yes drinking a lot of Water, chicken broth and sugar free jello... Surgery is in the morning

Have you tried a vegetable based protien? Could be you aren't handling the protien type.
