I'm April 13th too! I don't know if I'm relieved or concerned that I don't have to do a pre-op diet. My surgeon doesn't require one! Hmmm....

The purpose of the liquid diet is to shrink the liver so they can get in there to do what they have to do. If I were in your place, I think I would do it for the week before, just to make sure. My surgeon only requires 1 week of Protein Drinks but at least it's only week. GL

I am the 27th also! What is your pre-op diet like? I am only required Protein Shakes for one week with the exception of Clear Liquids the night before.

Less than 24hrs and I'll be in recovery! Crossing my fingers everything goes as planned. 🤞

Same! Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch. For dinner 3-4 ounces of a lean Protein and veggies. Day before clear liquids only. I’ve been doing this for a week so far and lost 8lbs!

For what it’s worth my surgeon said I did a really good job on my liver shrink diet and I had very minimal pain post op. I like to think it was cause I shrunk it down so small there wasn’t as much to retract and therefore I had less bruising and stuff on my Insides?? Or they didn’t have to pump me full of so much air because the surgeon had room to get in there. I could be wrong but I stuck to it 100% and had minimal pain (just felt like I did a bunch of crunches).
