So Im doing pretty well on my pre op diet. I started early since I knew I would cave the first few days. My official start date for preop is tomorrow. But Ive been doing decent since Friday - with one pizza blowout exception! So Im wondering why this pre op diet has to be all liquid? I know the point is to reduce the liver size - but can't that be done on a very low carb type diet? Can I not eat even a salad for dinner? I really want to just have liquids during day and a salad for my dinner (with ranch, of course, but its low carb too!). Anyone know what the real catalyst is in reducing liver size? Is it cutting out solid food? Is it cutting out sugar? Carbs? This 2 weeks would be totally bearable if I could have a salad for dinner each night!
