Wow, you are doing great! I am 70 and did not expect to qualify, but my surgery is July 17. Have had new knees for 10 yrs but spine and hips are getting bad so hope wt loss will alleviate pain. Good you and DH are doing this together - a grand adventure!

July 31.

just got my date today, july 25th!

July 11! I'm doing the liver shrink diet now and trying to not gnaw off a finger, but I'm so excited.

Ha! I start the liver diet the day of your surgery. I know I’m gonna be hungry!! Good luck to you!

i start my pre op diet a week before surgery, but can still have food (like an egg or chicken) so i’m crossing my fingers it won’t be THAT bad since i still get to chew

Thank you! It really hasn't been that bad, I just always get hungry in the afternoon. I'm allowed unlimited non-starchy veggies so cucumbers with a little vinegar and salt have been a lifesaver. Good luck on your liver diet, you can do it!

Thanks!!! ??

I look forward to my 3 oz. of chicken and a small salad every night like a kid at Christmas! But it's not that bad, honestly. Good luck!

I don't think they have us do this diet so we can shrink our liver. I think it's so we can get used to our stomachs hurting so damn much from hunger. LOL. Today is the end of week 1 with another to go. It's been OK but dealing with it every day is getting REAL Old REAL Fast.... Good luck to all of you and do your best to stick with it. WE can do it!!!!!

LOL i’ve said that since the beginning!! i’m like this is just a way to get us used to the diet for after surgery and to lose some weight before surgery as well ? but i have friends in the medical field so i know it really is liver shrinking
