I have gotten this really weird cramp a few times in my stomach, kind of resembling a "charlie horse..." I'm on my pre-op diet & I'm wondering if maybe I'm not getting enough of something in... Any thoughts?

What are the specifics of your pre-op diet?  This definitely isn't something that I experienced on mine, it sounds super uncomfortable!

60-80g of protein (shakes), a cup of fresh fruit, veggies or vegetable soup, sugar free jello or popcicles and 64 oz of water... It is VERY uncomfortable!

Are any of those things new to your diet?  Like the aspartame in the sugar free products perhaps?  Or the milk products from the shakes?

Definitely not the sugar free products, I'm diabetic... I'll check the ingredients in the shake again... Didn't really think of that. Thanks.

Sure thing - clearly I have no idea, I'm just trying to help brainstorm :)
