Liquid Diet
Seems like all docs have a different time frame. However, research states that a longer liquid diet shrinks your liver making it not only easier for the surgeon to work, but also speeds recovery. Sister and hubby did a 21 day liquid diet. Sister only had 4 incisions, and although 110 pound overweight, recovered like rock star. Hubby's recovery was different of course, but he has lost alot of weight compared to most people. If I had it to do over again, I would do a longer liquid diet.
