Who starts pre-op diet this week?

Hello:

I begin my pre-op diet tomorrow - May 15th and I am scheduled for surgery May 29th. The pre-op diet can be challenging (especially for those of is doing all liquids). From the last time I did it, I know now to take Fiber chews and Miralax, in addition to lots of water!

I would love to have some pals to vent & share with during this stage! So bring your hangry rants and tips here!
