I've heard of a very few situations with special pre-op diet (clear liquid or otherwise). It might do well to check with your surgeon's office though. Mine didn't tell me about my 5-day clear liquid diet until 8 days prior to surgery.

I think it depends for different doctors. I was told that I only need to do a preop diet if my BMI was over 40, which its not, although its pretty close. I was told just to try to lose weight and definently not gain any but no specific instructions on how to lose it. I do plan to replace all but one meal with liquid for the 2 weeks before surgery just to really prepare my self for the postop diet though.

I'm 10 days out from surgery, and on my pre-op diet, which is basically, Protein Drinks, slim fast bars and lean cuisines/healthy choice meals. That's what my Dr. prescribed. . no clear liquid only diet. Go figure! I wonder why all the diets are so different and yet it's the same surgery for us? And I have cheated, but have still lost. . whew (not as much as I could have).
