Fatty Liver

[Mel1976 47]

Anyone have any suggestions for reducing the amount of fat on your liver?

The liquid diet is what you do to get the fat out of the liver before surgery. It shrinks the liver so the surgery can be optimal.

Thanks so much. You put my mind at ease. I thought it was going to he something else.

Been there, done that.........losing weight will help.......I still had a fatty liver/cronic inflamed liver even after the 2 week liquid diet........but after some weight loss, I'm told my numbers are great.......waiting to get a copy of the last blood work, though.....I want to compare numbers....good luck!

Yep, that is why you have to have the liquid diet before your surgery. It somehow works quickly to shrink it! No worries!

I had to do a 2 week liquid only diet. My doc showed me pictures of how well I did in sticking to the liquid diet. I lost 4 inches off my waste. It felt like torture for the first 4 days, but I stocked up on SF Jello and Popsicles for those times I didn't think I could do it. I experimented with different kinds of Protein shakes/smoothies. My favorite flavor combo was chocolate (unsweetened cocoa in the baking isle), Peanut Butter (PB2 powder has a lot less calories) made with milk. The more ice the more it felt like a treat.

I hope that helps.

I forgot to mention I either used vanilla, banana, or non- flavored Protein Powder to the drink. I had to sweeten the unflavored one with Stevia. I liked that because I don't like super sweet stuff to drink.
