pre-op diet?

I never was really told anything specific about a pre-op diet.  Just high protein and low-carbs and of course I've read that dropping a few pounds can help with liver size... Ive been doping ok... get plenty of protein, the carbs have been down with a few higher days here and there - mostly cause of wanting to eat things i know I am never gonna eat again, well, at least for a long time.

I was just curious as I have read about people being on specific shakes and ordered to lose weight prior to surgery, if I missed something or if other people were jsut kinda told to get protein and lower carbs.  (not counting day before surgery liquid diet).

Thanks.

Jami,
I was told the same thing lower carbs and increase protein to help with the healing.  But you see some on here that are told differently and are even told to do different preps the day of surgery.  I think some of it has to do with your particular surgeon.  My surgery is the 13th good luck to you on your upcoming surgery date.
