Preparing for the Liver Shrinking Diet

Given that my surgery is a little over 2 weeks away, it is time to start preparing for my Liver Shrinking Diet. As it was explained to us, the surgeon has to build a 'shelf' to hold the liver away from the stomach while doing the surgery, and this is made much easier if you are one a restrictive diet that shrinks the liver extensively.

This diet is, basically, a Boost in the morning, a Boost for lunch and a slab of chicken and some broccoli for dinner. Yippee! Of course, this is going on during a trip to San Francisco, my sister's 50th birthday celebration and a bunch of other fun stuff. So I'm going to be buying into the 'sadly watching food from the sideline' situation for the first time.

<sigh>
