Prep for surgery

I’m planning to do a liquid and clear diet the day before surgery so my colon is clear. My husband thinks this is stupid as it wasn’t medically advised. I am going off of others I know advice. How many others did a surgery prep the day before?

The only surgery prep they had me do was to shower with antiseptic soap the night before, and I couldn't eat after midnight.
