Everyone

One week liquid protein diet and then 2 days of clear liquids.

Dawn,

My surgery is Dec. 15. I do not have to diet. Just the day before surgery clear liquids. Good luck to you. When is your surgery?

I'm still waiting to hear from Ins. Good luck to u on the 15th

I had a 3 week liquid diet pre-op.  2 weeks were protein shakes, and the week before surgery was no milk, clear liquid only and protein shakes with water added only.  No food.  It was the hardest thing I have done for along time.  I made it through though, and you will to just follow your Dr plan.  Good luck

Not everyone has to. But they should anyway.
