Liver Shrink Worries!

[laurenelizabeth 13]

My mother and I are both going through this together! She lost 24lbs before her surgery and they almost closed her back up and didn't do it because her liver was still big! I'm two days away from mine! I checked Thursday and I'm at a 22lb (from 449 to 427) loss so far! I've struggled and not done so well keeping to the pre-op fast my doctor put my on but I'm determined to be strict, drink lots of Water, and exercise these last two days. Have any of you ever been turned down because your liver was too big? Is it a direct correlation between weightloss and the liver shrinking? Any words of advice or comfort for this nervous girl?

I did Protein Shakes and 1 very light high in Protein meal the last week before surgery. The day before I only did protein shakes and then stopped at 8pm because I was told to have nothing after that. I was 412 going into surgery and it was a breeze. I was told about fatty liver impeding surgery so I had really cut back in the last 2 weeks increasing my protein, and cutting out all carbs. Weight wise I didn't actually lose a lot, but I cut out all high fat foods.
