If you haven't cheated I think your liver will have shrunk.

Have you been set a 7lb target?

 

[angeeb]

Yes....7lb
I started to cut out carbs the week before though and lost 2 lb that week too, but thought as i'd eaten so much less this week it may have been more than 2lb...feel like living on water alone next week

Make sure you keep your fluids up and dont worry it will happen xx

Low fat protein mainly and up your water. Eat less and it will be worse. I tried that recently and I even gained. Good luck xxx

its about the shrinking of the liver not the weightloss... your body is probably storing your fat and water at the moment... but as said as long as you have stuck to the diet guidelines then your liver would of shrunk xxx

But she has been given a target. Hence why I didn't give the glycogen facts lol. It's harder when the pre op has a weight loss target too x

I shouldnt worry too much, I had my surgery date ( and type) changed half way through my pre op diet which sent me right off kilter with the weight loss.

I lost the ground amount of 4 ounces! Nothing was said or commented on. I have (had) fatty liver too.

They deal with allsorts of sized livers so yours is no diff than someone who has lost a load of weight but was bigger to start with - if you see what I mean.

Slimfast has many carbs. But one of the pre op diet options at my hospital as them as an option. So its hard to tell whats what :sigh:

From what I have read so far, it appears that the pre-op liver shrinkage diet does not always give great results on the scale, as its all about the liver.
As long as your following their instructions, thats all you can do!
Good luck!

I think the pre op diet is all about the liver, The Weight loss is a bonus, What we need to realise is not just eating the right thing will result in weight loss, We need to exercise and make adjustments to our routines to get the best results.
