Hi all. I need to lose 10 pounds preop and my doctor says I can do it any way I want. I want to do it on the liver-shrinking diet, to "kill two birds with one stone" and shorten the time before I have my surgery. What is the liver-shrinking diet? What are the specifics of it (types of foods and liquids, amounts, etc.?
