Pre-op diet

Just wondering if anyone was put on a no carb diet for pre-op? I know all doctors are different in what they want their patients to do as far as preparation for surgery, and some don't recommend dieting at all. I plan on eating lots of salads, chicken, eggs, and lots of water. And it's only for 10 days. I was also thinking I may go on a liquid diet 24 hours before the surgery. Anyways, thoughts and experiences are greatly appreciated!

I was put on low carb three weeks before surgery. Lost 20 lbs pre-op! My doctor also requires clear liquids two days before surgery. Sounds like you have a good plan. Stick to it. It is important to shrink your liver prior to surgery to reduce the risk of complications.

Good luck!!!!!!!
