i don't know why surgeons subject people to liquid diets. its not necessary. but since you have to do it, good luck.

GOOD LUCK!!!

losing any amount of weight shrinks your liver, making the surgery safer.

Crystal light was/is my best friend. They are sugar free and come in sooooooo many flavors. They also count as your water intake. :D Good luck!
