Presurgery diet

in C-sections
Did anyone's doctor recommend changing your diet before surgery to reduce gas? I thought the gas pains were all from air trapped during the surgery but I am bored and googling CS and one page recommended switching to more easily digestible foods 48 hrs prior to reduce gas. Ten days and counting.

    My csection was unplanned, however they suggested easily digestable/ less fiberous/ simple foods during early labor stages.

    I am wonder the same thing! I also heard drinking peppermint tea after surgery is supposed to help with trapped air. I have never had surgery and am trying to prepare as much as possible! We are having our c-sections on the same date! 10 days and counting :)

    I was a scheduled c/s with DS and my OB didn't mention anything about diet leading up to the c/s, just to fast beginning at midnight the day of.

    I was to fast as of midnight for LO1. No mention of a diet.
    "What are you having?" "Well the radiologist says its a healthy little human baby. I'm a little disappointed, because I really wanted a puppy." LOL

    GL to you on our CS day pnwlover! As unlikely as it is a small part of me is hoping to go into labor before then to avoid the RCS!
