Why the hell are these pre-op diets full of sweet foods!?!

I am really frustrated by it. Why so many Protein Shakes? Why not real, whole foods? Anyway....

I always had "real food" except for the week before surgery where it was just liquids to help shrink the liver for surgery. Some people have the liquid diet for different amounts of time based on surgeon preference. After surgery you need it while your stomach heals. Other than than, there is no reason or need to have Protein shakes if you can meet your Protein goals with your food intake.

My 2 week pre-op is Protein Shakes, yogurt, pudding, Popsicles....I'm sure I am hangry but I just can't handle all of this sweetness.
