Hi! So I am on day 5 of my 14 day pre-op diet and I know the goal is to shrink my liver.

I haven't cheated or anything, but I do want to know if anyone has ever gone through the Pre-op diet, didn't cheat, and still didn't get their surgery done due to their liver not shrinking enough?

I know I should not be worried but I'm starting to freak out EVERYTHING lol.

I don't think there is a goal for a specific amount to shrink. The goal is to shrink as much as they think needed for a safe surgery. Just stick to the plan and your surgery will happen, Good Luck!!

I did cheat a little bit and I still had surgery. I think you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

I was a little worried about this but for nothing. I followed the plan, fell off the wagon one time and then kept on the plan again for the last 5 days and I dropped 25lbs. Everyone is different just do what you are supposed to and if you stumble, keep going.

I think it is referring to the Liver Shrink Diet, but I liked it better when I thought she dropped acid.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
