Hi! So I am on day 5 of my 14 day pre-op diet and I know the goal is to shrink my liver.

I haven't cheated or anything, but I do want to know if anyone has ever gone through the Pre-op diet, didn't cheat, and still didn't get their surgery done due to their liver not shrinking enough?

I know I should not be worried but I'm starting to freak out EVERYTHING lol.

I don't think there is a goal for a specific amount to shrink. The goal is to shrink as much as they think needed for a safe surgery. Just stick to the plan and your surgery will happen, Good Luck!!

Thanks @@ShrinkingPeach!

I did cheat a little bit and I still had surgery. I think you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

I was a little worried about this but for nothing. I followed the plan, fell off the wagon one time and then kept on the plan again for the last 5 days and I dropped 25lbs. Everyone is different just do what you are supposed to and if you stumble, keep going.

Ha, I have to get used to the lingo here. When I opened this thread I thought it was about taking acid before your surgery. I was like what?!?!

I too came here because I thought that you dropped acid before beginning your pre-op diet. lol

I think it is referring to the Liver Shrink Diet, but I liked it better when I thought she dropped acid.
