Clear Liquid Diet - Does 2 weeks really make a difference?

How does it shrink your liver exactly? On my ultrasound report, it was stated there was 'fatty liver infiltration'. Will 2 weeks be enough? Yeah, I know, this is A question for my NUT, Surgeon, or Nurse, but they're not on here And this community answers much faster

I was on a two-week low carb diet before surgery, and I previously had a fatty liver, and my surgeon said my liver looked great for surgery. I took my pre-op diet very seriously because I did not want to risk a liver injury during surgery, which can be life threatening, and could also mean they would need to open me up to repair my liver and then I would have a huge incision with a higher risk of infection, longer hospital stay, and longer time off work. I just followed exactly what my doctor told me to do, and I was fine.
