So, I'm on the liquid preop diet, and on an antibiotic... Needless to say, I would really like to take some imodium or pepto right now.

Does anyone know if it is ok to take pepto or imodium while on the liquid preop diet? My surgery is supposed to be next Friday (if this dang cold/sinus infection/earache goes away)....

Yes it's okay to take Immodium. My doctor said it was fine to take anytime post op pre op whatever!
