How come PreOp diets vary so much?

Our Trust is a simple (!!??) Sugar free jelly and clear soup diet. :cry: I start a week today and am already dreading it, I bet I eat buckets of jelly and drink gallons of soup I know lots do just milk, but its the no-carb ones I don't get, and if they shrink the liver the same way, why can't we ALL do them?!?!

It's down to the different surgeons ideas really and what they like their patients to do.

The low carb diet is usually for the diabetics to follow. I think almost everyone else has to do some form of liquid diet.

As Mixxy said though, its down to the surgeons personal preference.
