Hi.

Just had my last appointment before my pre-op liver shrinkage diet. It's getting so so real 4 weeks and 4 days until my op. 14th September I'm going in. Getting my head around the liver shrinkage diet anyone offer any advice for that?

Yes, take one hour, one day at a time. Don't think about how many more days you have until it ends.

Keep your reason for having your surgery front and center - keep your eye on the prize.

Make sure you have quality chicken broth on hand. Making your own is the best if you can. The canned stuff literally tastes like dishwater. It's important because you get so sick of the sweet cloying taste of the Protein shakes and other sweet liquids that you just want something salty and savory. Sipping on a nice salty broth will do the trick.

I suggest making your own...... Or my Bariatric nurse told me to buy Mrs. Grass chicken noodle Soup, throw away the noodles and just make the broth using the seasoning packet and golden egg. I found that was a little too salty for me so I added 1 to 2 extra cups of Water to it.

In the end I made my own chicken broth.

I found that after the 3rd day, it really didn't bother me any longer. The first 2 days are the hardest.

It will be over before you know it and it will be worth it.
