  2. Mine was soft foods...no starch or sugars...for instance soups,cottage cheese or yogurt and a small piece of fish in broth with spinach....On the day before all clear liquids only I started my laxative 2 days before surgery.I took collace clear pills, Miralax and citrate of magnesia.My system was clean and clear for surgery.

Yeah I know...everybody has too much to say about anything ....and they can't know my business....at work.no way.
