Differences In Pre-Op Diets

2 week liquid diet - 3 shakes a Day

2 weeks 2 shakes, one small dinner

1 week liquids

3 days liquid

1 day liquid

24 hour fast

Why are they all so different? I am on 15 day liquid diet, then one day fast. I get 3 shakes a day.

I'm also weathering a frigging hurricane right now!

Why are they all so different? It's the same surgery! I get that it may "shrink your liver" but if that mattered, then why do some docs not do it? It seems to me that the post op diets are pretty similar, but the pre-op diets are vastly different.

The breakfast shakes are ok, the lunch ones I'm starving before, through, and after eating it. It's not taking the edge off at all. I want to have scrambled eggs or a boiled/grilled chicken breast, or fish for dinner.

Why not do a liver cleanse? http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/liver-cleanse-foods/

I know I should be asking my doc, but, I'm annoyed, and, everything in NJ is closed right now due to the hurricane, so I'm venting while I still have electric!
