Hello my name is Debra and my surgery date is March 26th. I am doing my liver shrink diet for two weeks. It's been a struggle but I will get through it. This is day two!

Hello Lorraine, the nutritionist supplied us with a liver shrink diet to follow which consist of a Protein shake or protein bar for breakfast, mid morning snack of fruit and add a 4 oz yogurt if ur diabetic, lunch protein shake or protein bar, mid after snack of fruit and add 4 oz yogurt if ur diabetic, dinner your choice of chicken, fish, or turkey 3 oz, steamed veggies or salad with fat free dressing (2 tbsp), 6 unsalted crackers or 2 slices low cal bread or 1 small baked potato, 1/2 c fruit or 1 small fruit, evening snack 1/2 c fruit or 1 small fruit. U can snack on unlimited veggies that are non starchy like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, okra, green beans, asparagus, spinach, greens, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrots, cabbage, radishes, onions, eggplant, zucchini, summer squash, and peppers. Drink plenty of fluids cal free, like crystal light, sugar free kool aid, water, decaf tea and powerade zero. I am required to do this for two weeks and all liquid before my surgery. Shakes or protein bars have to be under 220 calories and 10grams or less fat per serving. I hope this helps u. U can also purchase protein powder which can contain no more than 40 grams of protein. Hopes this helps u! Good luck!

I did but didn't go overboard because that would only add on more weight for me to lose before my surgery on the 26th. I started my liver shrink diet on the 12th and this is day three. I am down four pounds already.

Ok, that's great! I am getting gastric bypass. One of my friends had the gastric sleeve 6 months ago.

Thanks JoJo! We will have to keep each other posted, which weightloss surgery are you getting done? U r lucky u don't have to diet!
