    sKiPpY_C replied to Hopefull805's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am on a low residue diet just this week before my surgery (Surgery day January 16th) ...4 days i have to Eliminate nuts, high fiber breads and cereals, raw fruits and vegies and limit milk products. I then have to mix Miralax in 6-8oz water or juice twice a day then at bedtime take 1 dulculax tablet. I've been eating chicken soup, chicken noodle soup, white bread w/ jelly, jello, ice pops, juice (no pulp), i went to mayo clinic and found a "low residue diet" big help the day before my surgery i'm on all liquids and more miralax til #2 is clear :thumbup: not looking forward to that...but guess it's all part of the process. Hope this helps Blessings!

    My surgery is January 16th :frown: I'm excited, scared and nervous!! I start a 1 week pre-op on Monday Jan. 12th. I've talked to ppl that ate the healthy choice frozen dinners the week of pre-op diet. My paperwork says 5 days b4 surgery to begin a " low residue diet" (eliminate nuts, high fiber breads and cereals, raw fruitsw and vegetables and limit milk products). Also drink Miralax twice a day & take one dulcolax tablet daily at bedtime. Day b4 surgery clear liquid breakfast, and continue clear liquids for the rest of the day. Then at 6pm mix remaining Miralax in 64 oz water and slowly drink until #2 is clear Nothing to eat or drink after midnight!! Is there anyone out there with the same Preparations for surgery?? looks like a lot of jello, fish, chicken & broth on my diet this week.........oh well......gonna be worth it in the long run :w00t:
