What shrinks your liver?



Recommended Posts

Thank you all for the replies to my question' date=' I really appreciate it. So my diet is good then. I have had no fats or carbs just 1 boiled egg every other day, just sugar free fluids and 1 or two Protein shakes a day. I am feeling weak and a very bad attitude. So far... I've been called into my bosses office twice in four days! Lmao! I do work with cupcakes thou.

Xoxoxo to all of you guys & gals.[/quote']

I agree with Gamegirl....stick to what your doctor has ordered. Its not worth the risk

My doctors diet was slim fast or the like in am, noon and lean cuisine at night for 10 days. Not much like a diet but it worked I guess... im sleeved. High fat/calorie diet makes for one big liver. They have to move it out of the way and in some folks its 3 times normal size. That's why the bigger you are, the more risky the surgery. Liver bleeds easy when nicked and can be hard to stop so they don't want to hurt it in anyway. My doc said if he got in there and it was too big, he would not go further. One of the reasons I passed on gallbladder removal. That and 25% of all who have it removed have the runs for life.

Funny how sooo many doctors have soo many instructions. With mine, we don't do Protein drinks, all from food, Im already doing solids although its about 6 table spoon then it just makes you feel icky, full, bloated, which is good for me. I loved food. Food is not nearly as interesting anymore :)

Now what can I removed to make me not want to go to the casinos....lol buffaloooooooooooo lol

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
