Welcome to the forum Bob!!! We had to go through a liquid diet two weeks before surgery because our doctors believes it shrinks the liver for a safer surgery. He said we both had fat free livers making his job easier. We had surgery 6 days ago and are doing wonderful. We would do it again in a heart beat. There is a young gentleman on the forum that can tell you more about exercise so look on the excercise part of the forum and PM him. He should be able to shed some light on you water question. We both are getting our fluids in it is a matter of making yourself do it.
Jim and Dorene
