Liver Shrinking Diet

Hello everyone...I have heard of the liver shrinking diet, but unsure of what it consists of or how you do it.  I have surgery in 2 weeks and was wondering if anyone knew how the diet goes.  Thanks....

I was given info about this at my seminar/screening Thursday.  Bascially it is Adkins diet.  You should probably check with your dr or nut about this.

I had to do a 2 week liquid diet....that did the trick for me. It was giving to me by my surgeon's office. Good Luck!

My 2 week liver shrinking diet consisted of 50 or less grams of carbs a day. And lots of protein. Each doctor is different tho. Melissa

My pre-op diet was Carnation Instant Breakfast 6 times per day.  The surgeon said that would help shrink the liver and make it softer for them to flip back to get to the stomach.   During that time i also took Flintstone vitamins twice a day and B12 along with calcium. Did your doc or nut give you a pre-op diet? Take care and good luck! Pam

My nut and doc does a 3 wk veggies/protein drinks/puddings and gelatins diet. It was interesting, and tough, because I ended up having to do it for 5 weeks and my surgery date got bumped up (st00pid body wasn't losing any weight! in FIVE weeks I lost SEVEN pounds!). And I had to do the diet through Halloween, Thanksgiving and my birthday. :-/
