Yes, it's for liver shrinking. My doc stressed the importance of shrinking my liver. If it's too big, he'll just close me up without the procedure, so I'm being pretty strict. Not happy about the scare tactic but I guess it's working.
It looks like everyone is on a liquid diet for pre-op? Is your liquid diet low carb? My Dr prescribed a low carb (solid food) diet - 30grams of carbs per day. Surgery is on December 1st and I've been on PreOp diet for a week and lost an incredible 12.5lbs in that amount of time.
I'm wondering if anyone else is doing the same thing? I assume this next week won't be as much weight loss?
TIA

December 1st.
Only 10 days away! Now to make it through Thanksgiving without blowing my pre-op diet. I'm feeling pretty motivated so, as of now, it should be no problem!
