Hi and welcome to the site. How are you doing on your liver diet?

hiya and welcome...
Day 4 -5 is defo the point that the hunger goes for most..
I think its due to lack of carbs and Ketosis.. (VLC Diets tend to work through ketosis)
It makes the hunger go as long as you stay away from the carbs..
I have done lots of liquid diets over the years (unsuccessfully pmsl) and it does get easier as the days pass..
Good luck with your surgery I hope to join you soon x

Hi, I'm just 2 weeks a ahead of you, as I had my bypass last Thursday. I'm still hospital due to minor complications. But this site is a wealth of information.

My liver shrinkage was very tough. I needed to lose 16 kg and I lost 9 in the end. They were pleased with this. After day 5, I started to feel better.

Good luck and keep posting.

Xx
