All surgeons require the liquid diet. One who has been eating significantly fatty foods will have a fatty liver and it is necessary to have that liver detoxified and reduced in size. One cannot abuse the body with food and expect to not have consequences when you remove the fatty foods. Come on you have to pay the price if you want to loose the weight.
Surgeons can differ. I was not put on a liquid diet pre-op. My surgeon's requirement was that I loose 10% of my starting weight, which I did on a low carb, high protein diet. Post surgery, Before surgery, my nutritionist's focus was to get me accustomed to eating healthy for life.
