So I am scheduled for July 8 and my surgeon tells me he does not require a preop diet, just normal surgery fast before. For those who did not preop, was it hard post op to be on such a limited diet? I am already starting to use protein shakes for breakfast and being kind to my liver so that I heal well. Anyone not need to diet before surgery?

No, I didn't have a preop diet either...adjusted nicely & have had no issues!

It wasn't hard for me in the least. It is a different world post-op.

I wish I didn't have one. Ha! I guess it is what it is thought. :-)
