What about pre op? I don't want it to effect my liver shrinking

Great question for you NUT!

I need to find one first

You don't have one with your surgeon? Perhaps you need to talk to your nurse practitioner or whomever gave you the pre-op diet.

The one that my surgeon recommended doesn't take my insurance. I used a different one for clearance but he was horrible.

Here's what I found for nutritional info online, for a generic egg drop soup recipe:

If you don't have a nutritionist, just give your surgeon's office a quick call; they can tell you how much this would affect your liver's shrinkage. I'm guessing a serving every couple of days won't hurt much, but better to ask the experts for sure. Let us know what they tell you!

My nut ok'd it! It really was a life saver. I had it twice during my 1wk preop diet. Granted, they were little bowls, not a huge caraffe or anything.
