Anybody do keto diet before surgery?

I've been following a ketogenic diet for the last 3 months and have been pretty successful. My surgeon originally wanted me to lose about 30 pounds and I have lost 25 and he has been happy with me so far. My nutritionist did not suggest Keto, I kind of just took it in my own hands to follow keto instead of the high Protein low fat diet they recommended. My main question here is, if you followed keto up until you got close to your surgery date what did you do when you got close to surgery? Did you go back to high protein low fat, or follow keto right up until the pre op liquid diet? I'm not sure what I wanted to do. My surgery isn't officially scheduled yet but I'm probably looking at early October. High protein low fat and actually eating carbs is going to be so weird for me and I'm afraid I'll gain or stop losing if I start eating carbs. I know it isn't likely but when you do keto for so long you understand. So please anybody with any advice or peace of mind to give feel free!! Tell me what you ate when your surgery date got closer and if you began following keto at maintenance after surgery or if you did not go back to keto. Thanks!

I began Keto the Monday after my surgery info session at the end of Feb. I have lost 65 lbs since then following the keto diet. My nutritionist didn't recommend it but she said as long as it was working I could do it. She wanted me to follow a high Protein low fat diet. I stayed keto up until the start of my liquid diet, which was Monday 8/21. My surgery is 8/31. I questioned whether or not I wanted to have surgery since I was so successful with the keto diet... but I still have 100+ lbs to lose and I'm not getting any younger. I plan to stay low carb following surgery, eventually transitioning to keto if my body allows it. My labs have improved dramatically and I'm no longer pre-diabetic thanks to keto.
