Having surgery June 8

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.

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.

Mine said the same . But my moms told me from her experience they will close you back up if it's too big .

Today (Saturday) I'm drinking just my Protein drinks until my surgery on Wedn. June 8th. Hopefully my liver will shrink some.

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!!

I had 2 friends who had their surgeries last year and both only had to do a light diet 3 days prior to op
