Can you have milk and yogurt, or strictly one or the other?

Times must have changed as years ago my wife had her gall bladder out and can't recall any special pre op diet being advised. OTH they now use laparoscopic surgery so that may be the difference.

It’s an attempt to shrink my liver, so when they go in laparoscopically there’s less liver to lift out of the way , tbh I’d rather they just open me up and take it out, can’t be doing with just drinking milk or yoghurt

I think your surgeon may be suggesting something along these lines:

The annoying thing is I’ve dropped over a stone in 5months, low fat diet for the past 6 weeks, I’d elect for open surgery tbh, milk gives me the shits, and the only yoghurt type stuff I can tolerate in any amount is skyr,

That explains it, thanks. No, you really don't want the old way of doing it. That makes for a longer recovery as Jamie says and my wife would agree. She wishes she had had the keyhole surgery method they switched to a few years after her op. Stay with the doctor's advice and you will be ahead of the game. Best of luck to you for a quick recovery.
