How much weight did you lose? Did your liver shrink as required by surgeon

Dayum. That's rough. I won't complain about my 2 weeks any longer!

Don't get caught up trying to compare yourself to others. There are simply way too many factors that go into this. Some lose a few pounds, some none at all, and others could lose 10-20lbs depending on the lenght of the liquid diet.

I did my 2 weeks and my doc said my liver looked great.

My liquid diet wasn't entirely liquid--I had two shakes and a light dinner. Didn't lose any weight to speak of on it, but did lose 25 pounds pre-surgically before that. Doctor never mentioned my liver post-op.

As has been said many times before, we're all different and our programs require different things. Do what your surgical team says and be confident that things will work out as they should. It's a long road . . . but change is coming fast!
