Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Dear , In the purple folder that Dr. Ren gave you there is a booklet that explains the routine. Basically, it states that she wants you to follow a lowfat diet for at least 3-4 days prior to surgery to help shrink your liver. In the late afternoon the day before surgery I had to drink 2 oz. of Fleet's PhosphoSoda (buy it in any pharmacy or grocery store) with plenty of water for a bowel clean out. The rest of the night before surgery up until midnight I drank liquids and broth (and sat on the toilet). That's it. Jane J. 230/158 (-72 lbs.)
