KevinsBabyGirl85 364 Posted May 26, 2012 I was told fat free dressing or spritz dressings were fine! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LosingItForMe2011 320 Posted May 26, 2012 Newman's light dressings are good. Very low fat dressings are ok I was told. I really like Newman's light Balsamic vinegarette. For liver shrinking I was told low fat, high Protein diet worked best. They recommended I use one Protein shake a day in place of a meal. Lots and lots of water!

Thyckness718 21 Posted May 28, 2012 Wait until you see your surgeon because they usually tell you what you can and can not have to shrink your liver. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Kirk 2 Posted June 1, 2012 My surgeon and his dieticians were pretty clear about what we could and couldn't have. Protein shakes were fine (without milk), but we couldn't exceed 20 carbs a day. We can basically have whatever we want, as long as it's semi-healthy as long as we kept the carbs low. *shrug* He's supposedly one of the best surgeons in the country, so I trust his guidance.
