Wow!!! Am so glad I read this... I got no pre-op diet instructions from my doctor.. Just to show up for the tests the day before the surgery.

So I just emailed him... This was his reply:

"That is a good question.

At least pre-operative 2 weeks, you have to keep high Protein diet with 1200Kcal/day.

However, you lost lots of weight within the last year.

So I recommend to you keep your lifestyle until then.

That is enough to prepare for surgery.

Anyway, it is good to know about the liver shrinkage. Last year when I was 66 pounds heavier I had emergency gall-bladder surgery and afterwards my doctor said I have the healthiest liver he's ever seen in an adult. That was cool to hear. Anyway, I'm going to take the advice of everyone on here who said that not eating carbs will shrink my liver... Any advantage I can get right?!
