My hospital told me that pre op diets should be done for a minimum of two weeks before surgery but for no longer than 4. I did two and a half. Sure that will be fine for you.

Because i got a cancellation i am doing the pre op for 8 days i got the email re what to eat and ive had mostly whats on it although i have changed a couple of things basically ime sticking to 800 cals a day and lots and lots of fluids esp water.

My Surgeon doesn't believe in pre-op diets as such tells you to stick to low fat low carb diet. Mr P say's the reason for this is he want's you to be at peak fitness for your opp. I know other Surgeons like people to do the Liver shrinking diet, as it can make the opp easier.
