hartless 71 13 Posted June 4, 2016 I haven't been very good with pre-op diet. I'm starting all Protein Shakes on Sat and hope my liver shrinks enough. I don't want them to get in there and say nope and close me back up. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StephBradlee 21 Posted June 4, 2016 My surgeon didn't make it sound like he wouldn't do it if my liver wasn't "shrunk" enough. He just explained that the bigger it is the more in the way it can be and might possibly be more prone to injury when they try to keep it out of their way with the surgical instruments during the procedure.

Bobbieswife 95 Posted June 4, 2016 I've have been naughty my previous op diet. The question Is why are there some people who don't have to do a pre op diet at all? Oh well, such as life. I have 19 more days pre op so I will nail this!! Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
