Ok so I know most people want to eat until the last minute, but you can't. There is a two week pre op diet you have to follow to prepare your body for the surgery. They have to move your liver while they are working so it has to be pliable. Different doctors have different diets. I love my doctor and his office staff. We will discuss them later! Basically it 2 protein shakes a day and half a lunch and half a dinner. You can't have fried or breaded food, nothing high in carbs. No bread pasta, peas, corn, potatoes or carrots. Also at least 6 glasses of water a day.
Also you have to stop certain medications and herbal supplements.
I will say I have not done a great job doing this.
