Pre-Op Food Intake

My doctor does not require a "pre-surgery diet" however I understand that one is beneficial to help "shrink the liver". Is this true? If so, what do you recommend? A high protein, low carb diet or a full liquid diet? If full liquid, are protein shakes okay supplemented with water? I am 2 weeks from surgery and I'd like to start tomorrow. Many thanks for your advice.
