Why is that some docs ask for a two week pre op liquid diet? And some allow some solids like chicken for protein and some ask for no pre op diet just clear liquids for day prior?

Different surgeons, different practices, differs perspectives.

In the hospital group I belong to there are two sets of surgeons but all the patients attend classes together. My surgery group requires a 1 week protein shake liquid diet while the other group has to do a 3 day clear liquid diet.

It’s weird (and frustrating) to be in class and have people asking questions about their specific plan which may or may not be the same one you are on.
