Seems to me a clear liquid only diet for two weeks prior to surgery just doesn't sound very healthy at all.
I read that same post just awhile ago...I think it was Momof3 who has this situation. That seems weird to me too, even with my limited knowledge of pre-op diets. With no protein intake for 14 days, wouldn't your body start burning muscle rather than fat?
