Hi everyone ! Okay so my surgeon told me to drink 2 shakes a day and then eat a Protein supper. I was only able to get enough shakes for one a day and I been eating twice a day. I haven't gained weight but I'm scared I didn't shrink my liver enough.. has this happened to anyone? Being denied surgery because not following the 2 week liquid diet. Btw my surgery is this Thursday the 30th!

Are you going to be able to get enough shakes for post op? Not having Protein post op isn't really an option.

You should tell your doctor and be honest about what you have been eating and see what they say.

Mine didn't even ask me if I was successful with the liver shrinking diet. My team made sure that I had shakes for most of the week before hand. Others that had been through the process had donated the shakes needed and they distributed them. Do you think your team might be able to help?

Maybe .. I never even thought to ask them :/ plus it's too late now my surgery is in 4 days. Hope they don't ask me about it either. My surgeon just said to drink shakes he never mentioned anything about liver shrinking I didn't know anything about it till I did research.

@@d0minicanmama1 It's not too late, you have 4 days, Trader Jo's has inexpensive high Protein shakes called Pure Protein, they have no sugar and 35 grms of protein, try drinking those for the remaining 4 days and eating lean protein and a little veggi's, do what you can. If the surgeon gets in there and see's your liver is fatty they will cancel the surgery and you will have to start over :( Good luck!

I'll be honest, I didn't follow the pre op diet at all. I had your same fears. They didn't weigh me before surgery either. After surgery, my surgeon said my liver looked great and the surgery was very easy. Little does he know, I didn't follow it at all. I don't know if I just got lucky or what.

Our surgeon puts patients on a 1-2 week Optifast liquid diet before surgery. On my last appt on June 15, I went to book my surgery date. Receptionist asked how eager I was for surgery and said I could have operation on June 20. I asked "what about the 2 weeks of Optifast dr just prescribed?" She said it wasn't that big a deal, that they'd rather fill the operating room up... I chose June 29th because I wanted my body to be in optimal shape when they operate.

So I don't think you need to stress too much about what you have done while preop, you still have a few days to get that liver downsized. Good luck to you!

I think it all depends on the doctor and the weight of the person. I started this weight 330 and lost around 60 pounds so was shocked when he had me do a 2 week liquid diet.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
