it can be. i was very faithful on the liquid diet. they had to close me up and send me home because my liver was still too big. i had to do the liquid diet for another 2 months after that before they could go back in. i learned how to do the liquid diet really well though. good luck

After 3 days on the diet, it wasn't that bad, but I did have soup as well once and a while.

I spoke to my doctors, and I recommend you do the same, and I got their permission to eat only high protien chewed extremely well. I mean until it is mush in your mouth. I did around 30 to 50 chews on each bite. This breaks down the food better and makes your liver have to process less. I only ate lean meat like no fat chicken breast and fish and veggies. I stayed away from carbs and fat. I was able to have my surgery without any problems. I do suggest talking to your doctor about it.

Just remember, this is only one holiday out of your life. You might miss this holiday, but remember that next year at this time you will feel great! I had my surgery on Nov 3,2008. The holidays were not the greatest, but considering what I feel like this year, it was but a drop in the bucket of life. Don't let the short period of time that you have to do this get the best of you, you will feel so much better for so much more of your life. Best of luck to you.
