Surgery June 29th diet?

[Starlitlove08 2]

I found out today that my surgery date is June 29th. My surgeon hasn't told me anything about a diet but I know most people do one. His nurse was gone when I went to call today and won't be in the office again until I see him on Friday. I'm not sure if I should just do a Protein liquid diet like what I've heard others having to do just to be safe for what. Any thoughts?

My surgeon requires 10 days on south beach diet. Wouldn't hurt to do something.

Thank you all. I have done Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch with a light dinner just in case I guess I will see what the surgeon says tomorrow

My surgeon required 1 day liquid only then nothing 12hrs before surgery. I believe the reason for extended dieting pre surgery is to shrink the liver so it is easier to move out of the way during surgery. I have watched many videos of the procedure and everyone uses a special tool to move out of way so I'm not sure why some have diet for so long.

I am June 28th. I had to start the pre-op diet on the 14th. My surgeon is having me drink a Protein Shake for breakfast, another for lunch, and then a turkey sandwich for dinner (3 oz turkey, no mayo or cheese, lots of veggies on the sandwich). Hope that helps.
