Why can't individuals preparing for surgery not eat corn?

I was given instructions from my surgeons's office some behavior modification instructions in preparation for surgery. Among these was for me to avoid corn. I know that even though it is a vegetable, a starch and ???sugar??? Please help me to understand. I REALLY like corn, so does this mean I'll NEVER be able to eat it again?
