    It's to shrink your liver and after surgery you won't be able to handle regular food. You will have to do liquid diet for a couple weeks after to get your stomach use to that and then you will slowly progress to puréed stage then to regular food stage

    I had a clear diet 24 hours before surgery. I imagine it could get dangerous cutting your stomach and something still being in there. I also had a clear diet the day I was in the hospital. I was released on full fluids (which did not include meat or veggies).
