My surgery is tomorrow Tuesday May 17th so I too have been on Clear Liquids for the past week.

It really sucks.

Why do some have no clear liquid diet and others have 2 weeks? I've read the purpose is to shrink your liver so shouldn't it be the same for everyone?

My surgery was May 17th also.

When I am at home comfortably sitting my mind starts planning all the thing I think I can do. Because I don't feel tired in that moment my planned activity turns out too be way to much.

For example, this afternoon I drove 20 mins to my primary care physicians office to get a (non related) issue treated. Stood in line at counter for 5 minutes, sat in waiting room for 5 minutes then moved to exam room. Time spent in exam room was probably 15-20 minutes then I started to feel pain in my stomach. I sipped some Water but it didn't help much. So I went straight home without doing the 4 other activities on my list.

Took a pain med and sleep for 2 hours so I didn't make it to an evening support group meeting.

So I'm not sure if your body weakness is the same. I don't feel all the time like my body is weak, only after a physical activity when the pain flares up.

I hope this helps you!

I had surgery May 18th as well and I only needed to do the clear liquid diet the day before. My surgery was moved up all of a sudden so I didn't really do the liver shrinking diet but apparently since I am so young and do not drink, they didn't really see it as an issue.
