I,m just coming to the end of my pre op diet. I'm not on the milk diet. I've been on low fat low sugar. In the 2 weeks I've lost about a stone. I think everyone is different with losing. I worry my liver won't have shrunk but my op is on Monday so I'll so find out.

I'm pretty sure they start and if the livers to big they back out. Up in Aberdeen I'm pretty sure if that happens your discharged, don't even think you get a second chance.

If you've stuck to the pre op and behaved you'll be just fine. I lost 11lb, some lose 20lb. It's a lottery.

I think most folks worry about the liver not shrinking enough, my surgeon said its very rare that the liver is too large/hard so long as you follow the diet that you have been given I'm sure all will be well.

Its not about loosing weight, its about shrinking the liver hun and as long as your following your info to the letter you have no need to worry sounds like your doing just fine to me!!! x x x x

Stop worrying hun as long as you followed your teams advice you will be fine . It's not about losing lots of weight on the LSD although admittedly most people usually do but not everyone The pre op is all about shrinking the liver. Good luck hun xx

I think we all have the same worry about our liver shrinking,there's no way of knowing all we can do is follow the diets we have been given.im scared stiff I'll go down to surgery on Friday and it won't be shrunk enough.x
