I am having surgery on 4/23 and I am also on Optifast shakes (min of 3 max of 5 per day) for 2 weeks prior to the surgery. The first few days were extremely difficult, but now it is getting easier. Also am allowed SF Jello, SF Popsicles, SF beverages - basically any liquids that you can see through :cool: Dr. says it can help shrink your liver up to 40 percent prior to surgery. I also believe that it helps you identify the dreaded "head hunger" that I have read so much about!

My surgery is April 23, and out-patient surgery means that you will be released within 24 hours of admission. So you may actually be able to spend the night - that is what my insurance company told me.
