Hi, I kind of stumbled onto this site. I was looking for an answer to the question what should I be doing to shrink my liver before my surgery in 10 days? My surgery is on the 17th. I am 280 pounds, nervous, yet excited. These sites are offering me encouragement so that I can fight back the nervousness. So its a pleasure to meet you all.:thumbup:

I found this for you. “My liver shrink diet was low fat, low carb, and low calorie (and low taste LOL) with shakes and 1 meal. I think you're on the right track with a "lean Atkins" type of diet.” Go up under SEARCH and type in help shrinking liver and mark POSTS and it will bring up people's post about shrink your liver. Hope that helps!!!

Thanks 123crod. My diet was not where it should have been. Right now I don't think the slim fast/supermarket drinks are the right kinds. They have too many carbs and not enough Protein. I am on 2 shakes and a small meal diet.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
