Depending on your size, you can lose a lot in 13 days, how much does your surgeon want you to lose? I understand the need to shrink the liver but my surgeon asked me to lose 10-15lbs. in the six months preceding surgery, which was minimal and easy to do. He did not require a liver shrink diet, just two days of clears to clean out the stomach. This was very hard, but it's two days, you can do anything for two days. He said my liver was a little large but nothing he couldn't work with. This requirement of weight loss prior to surgery bothers me a bit because it keeps the people who struggle the most and need the surgery the most from getting the help they need.

i had the preop diet for 13 days total. All liquid and i was down 20 pounds.

You got this! Stay on track and take it day by day and you will see the results quickly.

You can do it!

What do you mean “lose enough”?
Were you asked to lose a specific amount?

No just to shrink my liver
