Pre-Op Diet: Apple Cider Vinegar
I have a question. I'm on my 3rd day of pre-op diet. My doctor put me on all liquids for the next 2 week. I cheated the 1st 2 days (I ate dinner on both days, just nothing crazy). After a good tongue lashing from a friend, I followed my diet on Day 3. I use to add apple cider vinegar to my water to control blood pressure, but it's also known to detox the body. Has any one use apple cider vinegar during their pre-op diet? Thanks in advance.
I'm post op & I use apple cider vinegar, but I've only recently started using it for its health benefits. I haven't had labs yet to see if its making any difference. Just be careful with the amounts, its pretty acidic.

The notion of "detoxing" is total BS. And it CERTAINLY won't undo any cheating you've done on your pre-op diet.
Even if you're doing "nothing crazy," you're straying from your pre-op plan and running the risk of cancelling your surgery. If you "cheat" immediately post-op, even with something that seems sensible, you could very well cause life-threatening complications.
