Scheduled c-section -- diet tips 2 days before?

Switzerland

My first was unscheduled c/s and I suffered horrible gas pains and constipation. I have been reading a few book son preparing for a c/s and some advise a liquid diet 2 days prior of soups, etc to be easier on the recovery -- supposed to limit gas pains and make stools softer. (I had stool softeners but it didn't mater, still hurt like heck to poop the first week post c/s)

Any advice?

They are going to open you up, expose you to air, and sew you shut again.  Nothing you can eat or drink is going to prevent air from getting inside of your body and causing gas pains.  The best advice is to get up and start moving again as soon as they give you the green light to do so.

Not specifically about diet prior to, however don't use a straw or eat ice afterward. Drink directly out of the cup!
