question re: the pre op fast

I'm a little concerned about this pre op fast. I am worried about this protein drink, I HAVE 6 GRAMS OF FAT IN THE POWDER MIX. Is this too much fat considering my liver is supposed to be shrinking by next week? What drink does everybody else drink? Does everybody have this pre op fast for 10 days? I think I'm getting presurgery jitters, but i'm worried about the liver being injured in the lap procedure.

    You fast when you haven't lost the amount the Drs. want b/4 surgery. I was told the way to choose your protein drink is 100cal. equals 10grms protein, period. Try not to stress. Whens your surgery?
