Depending on your size, you can lose a lot in 13 days, how much does your surgeon want you to lose? I understand the need to shrink the liver but my surgeon asked me to lose 10-15lbs. in the six months preceding surgery, which was minimal and easy to do. He did not require a liver shrink diet, just two days of clears to clean out the stomach. This was very hard, but it's two days, you can do anything for two days. He said my liver was a little large but nothing he couldn't work with. This requirement of weight loss prior to surgery bothers me a bit because it keeps the people who struggle the most and need the surgery the most from getting the help they need.

What do you mean “lose enough”?
Were you asked to lose a specific amount?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
