Pre-op liquid diet: Always Required?

[John D 0]

In my search for the right Doc/price/facility I've quite a few variances re pre op diet requirements. From one day to a couple weeks. The one I settled on asks for one week.

My surgeon required a very low carb diet 2 weeks prior to surgery. At 17 days PO, I can say I am REALLY REALLY REALLY glad I did not have to do 2 weeks of liquids before surgery. I am so over this liquid phase and totally sick to death of it that I cannot imagine having to have done it before surgery too!
