Whats your Pre-op Diet?

My doctors instructions about the pre-op diet are very vauge. I am to begin three days before surgery by eatting less than 1000 calories (today). The next day (Sunday) I'm supposed to do a bowel prep but they didn't say what time. I don't know if I do it in the morning? afternoon? or evening?? Only clear liquids this day. The next day (Monday), day before surgery is clear liquids only. Do I count the calories? Thanks, Robin

I am on clear liquids - if you can see through it I can have. So far the last few days -drink all the Sprite and Gingerale you ever cared to. I had broth today, sugar-sweetened TEA. I did a web search on CLEAR LIQUID DIET and found this URL http://www.gicare.com/pated/edtgs14.htm My doc said the same things - you don't have to worry about the color of your jello - it can be red.. I want something solid but I have jello instead!! It too can have sugar it until post op...so that's one nice thing...if there can be one to a clear liquid diet. Take care and drink lots of water too.
