Well, I'm 8 days away from my surgery and doing quite well on the liver reduction diet. I can't wait for the surgery, how ever I am loosing weight on the diet and my wife seems less on board now about my surgery, she asks why can't I just continue to follow this diet to loose my weight. She doesn't understand that you can't live on this diet it's to hard and once I would stop it the weight will just pile back on. Now she has me questioning my decision, help.
