Has anyone else had issues with the PRE-OP diet? 44 is a little old for pooping yourself....LOL! Maybe I too am lactose intolerant, but I have never had issues before. The sweet is kinda sitting icky on my stomach, and I am ready for something else! Surgery is Tuesday. I guess I can make it that much longer. UGGGGH!

The next morning I got off the couch and did the manly celebration of a good fart aka lift leg high and aim it... oops it wasn't just a fart...

Did I mention we don't wear clothes in our house?

Thank god for hardwood floors...

Loving this thread! I am pre-op but have heard from friends to never trust a fart! I started my liquid diet today so it was good to read I should be cautious now too!!

great way to start my day with a few giggles!! I am sure I will have to be cautious when giggling later on....
