I keep thinking the same thing--this will get easier soon....god I hope so.

OMG I am soo darn hungry today!! It took everything in me not to stop at Whataburger on the way home from work.

I started one early this morning called April 2013 Post-Op Group Krystal let us know what you think of the book--maybe I'll have to get it. Yeah I'm on a 2 week liver shrink diet. It's basically shakes for breakfast and lunch, then lean protein and veggies for dinner. Less than 30 carbs a day, less than 10 fat grams a day and no more than 900 calories.

Sure, no problem!

LOL! so what time do you have to be at the hospital? How far is your drive? Who is taking you?

Good Luck to our April 1st members!! I hope you get some sleep tonight

Food is my best friend too. Made me feel better when I was sad, entertained me when I was bored, shared in my happiness. I'm on my two week liver shrink diet (surgery scheduled for april 8th)and it's been very difficult. I know it will get easier with time but my every waking thought seems to revolve around food right now--especially the stuff I can't have. I know this is part of the process, but it is quite a struggle.

Back on track--me too! One more week to go!

Oh Nella! I would have done the same thing!! Hope your itching is gone. I've got to use the same stuff, but just once.

I couldn't sleep so I updated our list. I can't believe we only have one day to go for some of you!!

You are stronger than I am! I have such a hard time being around food like that. Hopefully it will be easier after surgery. Do you find it at least a little easier now to make the right choices?

I put in one packet of Splenda and a spoonful of Jello sugar-free fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix. It doesn't really add protein but it tastes like cheesecake to me

I had some bread at lunchtime and went over my carb count. I hope I didn't screw up the liver shrink diet too badly. Thank god for sugar free Popsicles!

I'm doing a liver shrink diet as well. I do one or two morning protein drinks, spaced a couple hours apart, the same for lunch and then lean protein and steamed veg for dinner. I eat sugar free jello for dessert and drink water in between everything. No caffeine or carbonation. I reallllly miss my caffeine. I've been so sleepy without it, but the pounds are dropping off. I've got 8 more days of this before my surgery.

So sweet of your son!! Good luck with your surgery.

My Syntrax Shakes have 23g of protein, but I chose them because I like the taste. My doc is okay with EAS shakes too--whichever I can tolerate that is low carb. His requirement is that the shake has to have 100 calories or less for every 20 grams of protein, 5-10g sugar or less and 3-5 g fat or less.I think EAS has different formulas--the whey protein powder has 23 gram protein and 120 calories per scoop.

Oh the Easter Candy!!! I just have to pretend it's not even there.

Way to go! The third day was the roughest for me. Today was a bit easier. I hope it continues to get easier every day.

Y'all we are getting so close!!! I can't believe this is really gonna happen. I think it's still not real for me yet.

Awesome!!! That's crazy!!

Okay that sounds about like what I'm on too.

What is the particle diet?
