Anyone NOT required to do a pre-op diet?

I am having surgery June 25th. My doctor only requires clear liquid diet the day before surgery.

After reading all the people talking about a preop diet, I am going to try to do a 2 week preop liquid diet similar to what I will be on when I can have full liquids after the surgery. If it means less pain after surgery, I am all for it.

I was required to go on Clear Liquids two days before surgery (tomorrow) but I can't have any milk products. Just broth, Jello, gingerale, fruit juice strained. Tonight I have to drink that magnesium citrate stuff and continue clears. So I didn't get to have the Protein Shakes.< /p>

Oh yeah...and no red or purple juices or Jello.< /p>

My 2 week preop is 2 protien shakes a day and sugar free Jello, SF pudding, unsweetened apple sauce, low fat cottage cheese and 2 times a day I can have 1 cup of cream Soup strained.... Today is day 1 and I'm not liking this so much. I know its for a good cause. Just nervous. Have headache from not eating either. I'm also being banded on June 25th.
