*ACTUALLY* this diet is more than likely shrinking your liver... Did your doc tell you it was for shrinking your liver or is it just the pre-op diet? Not all pre-op diets are for shrinking the liver.

OMG! So the good angel on my right shoulder encourages me to stay out of this thread. The bad angel on my left shoulder tells me to speak out.

I am going to table a reply and perhaps be back later. But if I do, you gotta know, there would be a come-to-Jesus-meeting attached to it.

I find your post deeply disturbing, and a troubling trend I'm seeing in the new Freshman class coming in...

Your liver will be 4.8% smaller if you a cheat to the diet, smoother for your surgeon, quicker and less painful recovery for you. We had a poster on here, less than a year ago, maybe 8 months? She had her liver torn , miserable recovery, life-threatening, no it is very rare, but I thought of her and a theater to my liver-shrink the full month of August, did It pay off? Yep it sure did. A lot of my surgery,peers were complainIng of pain that bent them over, could barely walk, not me man!

NOT a CHEAT, ADHERE TO IT, YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY IF YOU DO!

My plan consisted of 14 days liquid to shrink liver. I started with 13 days because i counted day of surgery in error. You certainly have time to get it done. My plan consisted of drinking all day long including protein shakes throughout the day. I was never hungry. A typical day looked like this... Wake up- Decaf coffee, then a bottle of water, then a protein shake, now a bottle of protein water.. at lunch time chicken broth.. mid afternoon a protein shake, followed by some water (normally flavored) around 5 on i would grab a protein shake as i went to dance classes in the evening. Drank that on the way there.. had water when i got there, and upon arriving home, had chicken broth for dinner.. Would top it off with one more protein shake if i felt hungry. ( the protein water i felt subbed for the shake as it had 1.5 times the amount of protein.) I was allowed up to 5 protein shakes a day of the 10g . Dr said the higher the grams, the less can drink as he didn't want me over 80g protein a day..

It wasn't that difficult as i was constantly drinking something and the protein shakes/water took away the hunger. The broth i did to keep some sort of lunch/dinner normalcy.

Good Luck! You got this!

PLEASE do not take this the wrong way, but you have GOT to get in gear now because half of this is what you will NEED to do once the surgery is over.

You will HAVE to drink all of your water.

You will HAVE to get all of your protein in.

You will HAVE to prioritize your meals.

Part of doing all of this ahead of time (at least in my mind) is to get into the habit of it all beforehand so there is less failure afterward.

I am not saying any of this to be mean, but if you can't do what you are supposed to do for the 2 or 3 weeks leading up to the surgery, what is going to happen after the surgery?

Sounds like a pretty low-fat, low-cal diet to me. But you really should try to get something in during the day! Your body must be so tired after not eating for such a stretch.

I wish you the best of luck. I just took on a new management position and I barley sit down let alone have 32 oz of water. My surgery is a week away and I caved and had oatmeal.

Thanks my friend and good luck with your surgery
