Hi Everyone! I scheduled my surgery yesterday for May 27th, Yay! But, my doctor told me he doesn't require a 2 week liquid diet...just a 3 day liquid diet. How many days do you have to do a liquid diet prior to surgery? I see so many saying they have to do the 2 weeks...I asked why only 3 days and he said he doesn't want to torture me before surgery but do just enough to clear my system. I'm wondering if 3 days will be enough? Thoughts?

My doctor said two weeks.

I only have to do liquid for 1 week. I was surprised she didn't require 2 weeks. Not sure why.

I've been told to only drink 1/2 bottle of the magnesium citrate and liquid diet the day before. I haven't heard of anyone else doing this.
