Has anyone here had to do clear liquids for an entire week as a pre-op? I thought it was full liquids, then for 3 days prior clears. IDK, I'll do it, but it sounds excessive to me.

 All surgeons are different.  I had a regular diet up until 24 hours before, then clear liquids.  then nothing after midnight before.  I had it easy though in comparrison to some stories i'm hearing.

 I only did clears for 24 hours....that shounds like a lot to me.   Sure they want your system to be cleaned out before the surgery, but you are human and need strength to get through the surgery and recover.   I'm sure you did your research and have a good surgeon, so he must know something I don't.   Wishing you luck as you get through the difficult week.
