I’m supposed to begin my 2-week liquid diet on March 25th. Wondering if any of you have done liquid only for more than 2weeks?

There have been some who have been placed on 30-day liquid diets. This is usually due to the amount of fat around their organs or as the surgeon wanting to ensure that the patient can follow the diet properly and succeed.

The diets are all over the map, from just the day or night before surgery up to six months (yep, six months of liquids....for what reason is anybody's guess!) 1-2 weeks is typical for those who prescribe such diets.

It tends to be all over the map, but the high protein diet is basically trying to put you into ketosis before your surgery because if you have a fatty liver that will quickly shrink it. The reason it is a liquid diet is more that it's easier to get patients to follow that, than it actually having to be liquid.
