Re: Shrinking Liver Question

My liver shrink diet was 2-3 of a certain shake each day, at least 64 oz of water, 3 oz lean chicken fish or poulty each day and green veggies. no butter, condiments, NO SNACKS AT ALL. I lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks, liver still too big, did it another 2 1/2 weeks and 17 more pounds, and op was successful that 2nd time.

Each surgeon has his/her own liver shrink diet. Do what YOUR surgeon says. If you want a jump start, call your surgeon's office and find out what they want you to do. They are all so different; it's best if you comply with your surgeons directions, not anecdotal info from here! :)
