Looking for a new jersey buddy

My surgery is set for july 29. Mydoctors do not believe in a pre-op diet. Nutritionists says drink every hour after surgery. I'm getting nervous. I usually inhale food.

    I'm a married guy in his 50's from Delaware, but I was told the pre-op diet was to shrink the liver so it is less likely to be cut accidentally during surgery !! My Dr. even said that he would not do my surgery if I didn't follow that diet to the T . He said he has woke patients up before because the liver needed to shrink more, I didn't want to be woke up, so I followed the diet !!!!! :)

    Thats the place to be in the summer !!!! I had a day before pre op diet as well.. i had asked my nut at one of my meetings with her and she said my dr. just wanted his patients to lose the set weight loss he asked of us the say of our initital consultation.. which was only 10 pounds..and that was for the duration of 3 months.. i TRIED to do low cal low carbs .. some days were better then others.. i feel like if you make little changes now during your process you will do fine! Also i know for me after my surgery.. it was tough just drinking every hour.. i had no desire for food ( and i watched the food network as well) for about a week or so..
