I didn't following a specific diet, but one thing I did almost right off the bat was stop the soda!!!  I dropped almost 15 pounds in a few months just by doing that alone!   Some do a liquid diet for two weeks prior to surgery.  My surgeon didn't require this, but he strongly suggested to loose weight prior to surgery.  It makes his job much easier if the liver is smaller.   Best of luck to you!  Keep posting and let us know how you are doing!  Connie

Low carb diets will shrink your liver.  My doc required that I do a 2 week liquid diet prior to surgery to shrink mine.  :)

I was told to Low Carb it for 4 weeks leading up to surgery... < 40 gm/day. I didn't "measure" stuff since I'm familar w/carbs, but I cut out breads, sugars, white foods, beans, corn... those goodies with high carbs.  That was my docs "liver cleaning/shrinking" plan... and, I lost 11 lbs. in those 4 weeks too!

OK...got it!  I basically started that tonight.  And what a difference at eating pea-sized morsels. AmRuby ~ my Son lives is Spring Hope(less).  I joke and call it Spring Hope(less) but I love it there and does he! I'm also looking for the protein shakes ya'll are talking about...are they carried at W*M?
