I'm April 13th too! I don't know if I'm relieved or concerned that I don't have to do a pre-op diet. My surgeon doesn't require one! Hmmm....
The purpose of the liquid diet is to shrink the liver so they can get in there to do what they have to do. If I were in your place, I think I would do it for the week before, just to make sure. My surgeon only requires 1 week of Protein Drinks but at least it's only week. GL
