Sounds like you are doing amazing! Keep up the good work

I believe the pre-op diet helps shrink your liver, but also helps prepare you for the post-operative phase. My pre-op diet consisted of a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and then a high Protein low carb dinner. The protein shake must be at least 15 grms of protein and less than 10 grms of carbohydrates. Post op diet you are on a clear liquid, full liquid, and a puree phase regular food doesn't start for like 3 months.

I am post op 1 week now, still on a clear liquid diet but unable to get all my liquid intake in for the day. Tomorrow I start on full liquid diet and hopefully will be able to get at least 2 Protein Shakes down a day. It's been a struggle and hoping a made the right decision. I can take liquid meds but no pills.
