Is it possible that 2 weeks are not enough to shrink the liver?

I follow my pre-op diet rigorously but I am afraid that when my surgeon will open, he'll cancel my surgery because my liver hasn't shrunk enough in 2 weeks. Usually at my bmi 50 they give 4 weeks , but my dr ordered 2 weeks. I am afraid this was a mistake and that my surgery will be cancelled. Because I was tell with an ultrasound that i have a big fatty liver...my surgeon has never saw my liver, so how can he tell if it has shrunk ?
