Basically, in order to shrink your liver, this is what you have to do: high Protein, very low carb, low to no fat, and because you are straining your system, you have to drink a lot of Water.

You will find that everyone's diet varies. Mine allowed us 3-4 Protein shakes, and 3-4 cups of non-starchy vegetable Soups. Most people are also allowed sugar-free popsicles, sugar-free puddings, clear broths, and sometimes, fat-free greek yogurt.

We were told to stay between 900-1000 calories, almost no carbs, no fat, really you're doing 80% Protein and Water.

I'd suggest you run these and other suggestions you get here by your doctor and ask him if those are okay by him.

Maybe I misunderstood the OP but it seems like she is confused by her preop diet. I think that if they said liquid only and they sent you home with Protein drinks, then you are not going to "eat" but will only be consuming Protein Drinks until your surgery.

Seem to be a lot of variety to the Protein drinks, some clear and some with milk consistency.

You can call the office and clarify tomorrow but it sounds like you are on a liquid only Protein Drink diet until the surgery. Good luck!

Right, right. I was sharing what our liquid pre-op diet was. We were allowed all those things on our pre-op since Jello, popsicles etc were considered liquid. Hope that made sense.
