Scared liver didn't shrink!

My surgery date is tomorrow and I have followed my 2 week liquid diet. I only cheated twice and it was in the first week.

I am just afraid he will get in there and say my liver is to big! I have read some of the diets on here and a lot of them isn't as strick as mine. I have lost 20 lbs in two weeks so that should do it right? i just need some reassurance!

I say this all the time: breathe in, breathe out, move on! You've done fine!!! 20 pounds in 2 weeks is awesome. I'm sure you won't have a problem in the operating room.

I didn't have a pre-op diet. I was allowed to eat whatever I wanted right up until 12 hours before the surgery. My surgery went just fine, no big liver issues.

I'm sure your surgery will be a success! Congrats on the 20lbs. lost already!

20 pounds is great! I was supposed to be on a liquid diet two weeks pre-surgery but couldn't get through it and cheated ALOT, and my surgery was completely fine. You will be fine tomorrow, don't worry. Good luck!

Did you eat the night before, because I am really tempted to go out tonight and have a last meal!

Be careful with the last meal. My doctor told me if I ate something I shouldnt....like carbs....it would only take a little before my liver was big again.

I ate a little chicken and some veggies.

Congrats on the 20!!!

i was banded on the 22nd and i didn't have a pre-op diet. i went out for chinese the day before and ate up til midnite 8 hrs before surgery and i was fine. in fact, from my consultation to my surgery date i had gained 4 pounds (quit smoking after 24 yrs and munched alot) and there were no issues with my lapband. went mushy today and oh my god, the cottage cheese and lite pear was DIVINE.

I did have a meal the night before. I'm an accountant and had surgery during tax season, and worked a 15 hour day the day before surgery. I definitely ate at work the night before. I'm not telling you to do that, but it didn't cause me any problems.

thanks for the reasurrance, my surgery went great, surgeon said that liver was tiny. I am in a little pain but it will be worth it.
