Ok I have been in the diet for about 9 days already I have my surgery next Monday and I was just wondering i am eating pudding sugar free will my liver still shrink?? I am following The no more the 50 grams of protein a day no more then 40 grams of fat at day and no more then a 1000 calories a day. So will my liver still shrink if I keep eating the pudding??

you should be fine as long as it's the sugar free pudding.

I would just follow my doctors instructions. I'm at the start of a week on nothing but 5 Optifast shakes a day. Do I think my liver will still shrink if I added some actual food to that? Yes, but I'm doing what I've been told and sticking with it.

My doctor said for my pre-op diet to drink a protein shake for breakfast and lunch, then I can have a lean protein (chicken, fish, etc.) with a salad for dinner and then a protein shake at night if I need it. I am definitely EATING my dinner.

Oh ok thanks Nate I was just worried that my liver won't shrink because of that

My doctor put me on a low fat/low calorie diet

>\= 50 grams of protein a day

No more then 40 grams of fat a day

No more then 1000 calories a day

So my basic meal a day is one pudding cup in the morning with a nature valley bar

Lunch is 4 oz of chicken breast grilled with Lettus And crystal light and then the same for dinner if I get hungry I will eat a sugar free Popsicles
