Liver shrinking diet



Recommended Posts

So i have to do a liver shrinking diet 2 weeks prior to surgery. Which is substituting 2 meals w/ Protein Drink from an approved list. 2 Snacks low calorie or fat free yogurt, cottage cheese or 1/2 of fruit and 1 meal consisting of 4 oz lean Protein and vegetables. Except corn, sweet potatoes, lima Beans and potatoes. 64 oz of Water. I should have no problems because i basically been eating this was since February.

I'd have no problem eating that either as that's also how I typically eat. I'm still waiting to see what my pre op diet will consist of. I know I'll have one but they've yet to give me the details of it. Guess I'll find that out in the 90 min pre op class I'll be attending or during my last surgeons visit.

you're lucky. A lot of us have to Clear Liquids and 4 or 5 Protein Shakes a day - no solid food. That is TOUGH. I think I could have handled your pre-op diet!

Well @SummerTimeGirl I found out when i had to do a 4 hour nutrition pre op class last thursday. That I had to do a liver shrinking diet which is required by surgeon. As well as attend a support group.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
