we always recommend 1 week from surgery, so I would suggest you start now. Your surgeon I am sure will not mind. You'll want to start with full liquids and your protein drink (minimum of 40 grams per day). This will allow you to start "cleaning" the fat depostis off of your liver. Let me know if you have any other questions.
