"My understanding is that they'll make you "clean out" regardless of what your pre-op diet is."
I didn't have a pre-op diet or bowel prep. The program I went through requires a 10% body weight loss. Once that is achieved surgery is scheduled. About one month before surgery I was told I was doing great and I didn't have to lose any more weight but they wanted me to maintain what I'd lost. That was it. I couldn't eat after midnight the night before surgery, but I ate a big dinner before that. I'd never even heard of bowel preps until I started reading about it here.
