Bowel Prep???

My RNY is Tues 4/13... My surgeon has me eating a light breakfast and a protein shake in the morning, then clear liquids only until 11pm, then nothing till surgery (11am Tues)...THe light breakfast is the same I have been having for the last 2 wks in the pre-op diet... 1 hard boiled egg and 2 oz fruit. That's it! I told my husband that I will probably sleep most of tomorrow, when I'm not sitting on the pot-- 1pm I have to drink a bottle of citrate of magnesia...

My surgeon feels the bowel prep leaves your body dehydrated and does not do one. I am not sure why if a surgeon says don't do it you would. If you trust your surgeon follow their instructions.

Quick update...Thanks everyone for weighing in. I ended up getting in touch with surgeons staff and they ok'd the prep that my regular doctor recommended so I did both the diet and prep. Today's the big day! Wish me luck!

Good luck today!!!!
