Suggestions?

I'm presently on my pre-op diet of 4 Protein Shakes a day and 1 meal that is 400 calories or less. To make sure the liver shrinks (which I'm sure it has), are there any recommendations as to what I should eat these next few days to ensure the liver is small enough?

Every WLS surgeon has their own set of pre-op diet guidelines. So there's no set rules. I'd follow the recommendations of my surgeon. He's in the best position to evaluate your needs. But the norm is a high Protein, low carb diet.

For example, my surgeon's guidelines were for a liquid only diet. I could drink Protein shakes that were around 200 calories with 5 carbs or less, per shake.
