If he didn't mention it then I wouldn't worry.  Can you call their office Monday and ask their staff or nurse?  My doctor didnt't require any pro-op diet.  He had me eat light the night before and nothing after 9 pm.  I ate a lot the weeks up to surgery.  Trust me I probably had a fatty liver!  You are probably just anxious due to the surgery coming up.  I was calm until the morning of surgery and then I was a bawling mess.  Is there any other patients of his you can contact and ask?  We have a support group and Facebook page.  Good luck but I think you will be great!

 5' 8.75" HW 278 / Doctor supervised Diet 271 / SW 247 / Doctor's goal 175 / Personal Goal 167/ Current weight 155/  M1: 24.8  M2: 10.8  M3: 10.8  M4: 10.4  M5: 7.6  M6: 10.6  M7:  6.6  M8:  5.6  M9:  5.0

Don't worry . It is what it is at this point. My doctor only had me do the standard two day pre surgery fast with only clear liquids. It really varies surgeon to surgeon.

just follow your doctor's pre-op instructions. if he never required you to do a pre op diet for the liver then he has his reasons. My surgeon didn't require me to shrink my liver which was quite fatty as well. But i decided to lose a little on my own the week before. lost 6 pounds before surgery not much but i did it for me. So just follow his instructions and you will be fine. :-)
