Hi, Yes I am also under the belief that if you do not do you liver shrinkage diet correctly the surgeon can refuse to carry out your operation I have been told that they used to ask for 1 week for liver shrinkage but that was not enough so 2 weeks are the norm but my surgeon has said that if you can manage 3 weeks all the better as the liver will shrink sown all the more and if that gives him more room and is safer in the long term it's worth doing and that is my plan and mine starts on the 30th April for 3 weeks on liquids only Michael.

Hi Everyone, Thanks to all of you who have replied to me it is great to know I have support this has been a hard decision for me struggled with my weight for years I have tried a weight management scheme here in the UK but it was not for me the surgeon as said 2 weeks for liver shrinkage is good but 3 weeks are better if you can do it so that's what I am aiming for I have tried the lighter life shakes and bars for about 6 months it is expensive about £10 a day in the UK but it is not the answer so have now chosen to go down the gastric bypass route privately in the UK my date is the 24th may and liver shrinkage starts at he end of this month watching all the threads the amount of information is amazing it feels like one big family here within this group I am glad I joined thanks again to everyone who has given me advice and support Michael.
