Hi all,
I have my surgery date for the 29th April, so not long to wait. I had my pre op assessment today and was given Nutricia pre op drink and the dreaded plenvu .
On the instructions for the Nutricia it says to drink 4 bottles the evening before the op. My question is since I am also doing the plenvu in the evening too (my surgery is booked for the morning) surely the plenvu will just wash it straight out … I’m just wondering if the Nutricia will still be of benefit and if it might be better to drink through out the day. If anyone has experienced this I would be grateful for their input, I’m sure I’m overthinking and it’s really not that big of a deal
Thanks
Hi Loouise I don’t know but maybe you could post it in the Ask the Nurse section?
