Have many people not been advised a pre-op diet?

I'm on my 2 week pre opt diet now been a struggle since I'm an Executive Chef and am around food all the time but been doing well Surgery next Wednesday and getting a little nervous.

Oh wow, yeah, I'd imagine that would be really difficult!! But you're so close to surgery now, you've totally got this! And know there's lots of support around these parts if you need it 😊

My pre-op diet was to limit eating to 1500 calories/day and restrict fats for 2 weeks before surgery.

My pre-OP diet is 48 hours of liquid only

My program requires a 2 week liquid diet before the surgery. The reasons are to shrink the liver a bit before surgery, to get you into ketosis before the surgery, and to get you in the right mindset heading in to surgery. I don't have a strict number of shakes to have each day, just between 4-6 as I'd like. I've been preparing myself by having 1-2 shakes a day so far, so it won't seem so jarring to switch to the liquid diet. I still think I'll be a bit cranky though [emoji12]

On my 2 wk liquid diet, I'm allowed 4 to 6 cups of green leafy vegetables plus 3 to 4 Protein Shakes. I chose Jay Robb as it is low in carbs and sugar and no artificial ingredients I can also have sugar free popsicles and Jello. I m on my 2nd day and doing well
