Pre op liquid diet?

[applejenn 173]

My surgeon does not require one, should I do at least a few days of a liquid diet?? What is the benefit of the liquid diet pre op??

Shrinks your liver so dr can maneuver it easier in surgery and I think it also prepares you a bit for life after surgery. I am day 6 of my 14 day liquid diet... it's tough lol

Is it just Protein shakes or all liquids? So it wouldn't hurt to do it then?

I can have Protein shakes and sugar free Jello and pudding to add some flavor, fat free Soups with no chunks, fat free yogurt...

My liquid diet consists of Protein shakes, broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Gelatin, Decaf coffee/tea, crystal lite, white cranberry juice/grape juice. All sugar free. I've added some Light and Fit Greek yogurts to the mix because I need something a bit thicker than broth.

Mine is just <40g carbs daily for two weeks... Day before Clear Liquids.

I'm an old school Atkins believer. <20g,i always did 15g figuring I'd get 5g in trace carbs.

I've been doing my usual atkins, I don't know if I can do 40g! Hah...

My surgery date is 4/11, just one week away
