Depends on what your pre-op diets is. The whole point is to shrink your liver. Even if you eat Soups if they are full of fat and calories it will be pointless. What are you allowed?

They never really said.....it just shows in.the packet 7-10 days before surgery start the diet

What were the directions given to you by your surgeon? Are you drinking enough fluids to maintain proper hydration? In the recent past, have you consumed significant amounts of caffeine?

Headaches can be a symptom of both dehydration and withdrawal from caffeine dependence.

Since you are preop, it essential for you to follow the directions given to you by your surgeon. If you are not certain if something such as Soups are allowed, call them for additional clarification.

Withdrawl from caffeine is probably the headaches..I quit soda last october and it was hard. I was sick for a week and half! I did a 9 day liquid diet last time I was scheduled for surgery and it took 3-4 days to adjust. Hopefully this will pass soon. I start my all liquid diet on 11/8.
