Foods to avoid pre op
Hi, I have spent the last 2 hours trying to find something I think I previosly saw on here, and that is a discussion on foods to avoid, because they influence either the anasthetic or your recovery.
I recall them to be Potatoes, tomatoes, and garlic, flour but I know there were more, also I don't know how many days pre op to stop eating these things.
Does anyone recall where I may have seen the discussion?
Also does anyone know the english equivelent to Gas X.
Thanks.

I don't know the English equivalent of Gas-X but perhaps you could find it by checking over the counter meds for Gas Relief that contain the active ingredient "simethicone 125 mg).

I personally avoided foods that can cause constipation like red meat. I also avoided these food after surgery for several weeks. I was told to stop taking garlic supplements prior to surgery because they thin your blood. I don't know how this relates to foods with real garlic.

Foods to avoid pre op
I wasn't told to avoid any foods but I was told to go off all my herbal / homeopathic supplements one week prior to surgery (oil of oregano, garlic, ginger, ginseng, etc)
I ate some red meat 2-3 days presurgery to increase red blood cell count and pasta day before for a carb boost. Small amounts only (due to unrelated stomach issues I normally don't eat any red meat) but I actually think it helped. Doing good day 7 now post op. I was afraid I'd regret it and cause havoc to bowels, but I'm happy to report doing A-OK.
Best of luck to you !!
