IJustWant2BeALoser 38 Posted December 8, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShrinkingPeach 1,291 Posted December 8, 2015 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rking 484 Posted December 8, 2015 I did cheat a little bit and I still had surgery. I think you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlappjr 467 Posted December 8, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
