Can someone post the diet?

Check with your doctor's staff, as there is no universal "liver shrink diet" - programs vary all over the map on what they want your to do from months of only Clear Liquids to nothing special at all.

there are a lot of different liver shrinking diets depending on the surgeon. Mine required two weeks of no-calorie (or very low calorie) liquids and 4-5 Protein Shakes a day. We were also allowed sugar free Jello and a limited amount of Tomato juice, V8, and broth. That's it. Some surgeons allow people to have limited food - e.g. a small dinner of meat & vegetables. Some surgeons don't require a pre-op diet at all.

Mine was just calorie-restriction to 1500 calories/day for two weeks prior to surgery with focus on no fatty foods.

And I did the entire month of August 2018 because I desired the best outcome, I believe it was worth the sacrifice.

I have the milk/jello option. I just don’t know how much hello you’re allowed!

Every doctor is different and they will give you the diet to follow. Mine is Protein Drinks several times a day and one low cal, no fat sensible meal. They gave me a chart to pick from. No sugar, alcohol or my passion ice cream. I can do this as my husband will be out of town the first week and by the second week, I should be in the pre-surgery mindset.
