Guys I attended my pre op assessment this morning which was very overwhelming may I add but I can’t remember what sort of ‘diet’ foods best to eat leading up to the day of my surgery, she may have not even mentioned anything but any advise again would be super. I’ll be having picolax midday the day before so I guess that will be when I stop all the food and from 6pm the 
ght before surgery I’ll be having 4 of the pre op drinks mind you though won’t the picolax just flush all the drinks out… oh god I’m confused x
Hi VJS1985
Good news on your surgery.
It’s really confusing isn’t it there’s just so much to process.
I seem to remember low residue diet then the bowel prep and the protein drinks which I enjoyed before my op
The drinks are two the day before and two early morning before the op The bowel prep isn’t as aggressive as the one I had for my colonoscopy the drinks stayed put
I was told that the bowel didn’t need to be prepared in the same way for an operation as for the imaging in a colonoscopy or endoscopy
