Post-op day 2 and regretting
Angelwings7172 replied to Ashley1213's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You're not supposed to but ur also not supposed to drink caffeine, eat Pasta, rice or bread or stuff with sugar along with a bunch of other things many people try it to see if they can handle it and if they can they do. Not recommended tho. My mother in law was a soda addict and had this done... She has drank soda.. But within 10 years, She gained ALL of her weight and probably 50lbs +... It's no joke... You have to choose what you want to do.. I have been reading how bad all the High fructose Corn Syrup is for my liver, that I will have a hard time drinking another Pepsi or Coke again for that REASON alone. -
I need help BAD with the Liver shrinking! going for 2nd surgery in 3 weeks
Angelwings7172 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all, I'm new to here and Tuesday I went under for my gastric sleeve procedure; but once they went in, My liver was too big for the doctor to continue... I do have to admit.. during the 2 week liquid diet before, I did cheat a little bit ( it was over the 4th of July) But I really don't want to have them open me up and say the same thing.. Anyone have any suggestions about what I can do to shrink it QUICKLY?? I have been doing predominently all liquids.. But are getting severe headaches when I don't eat something solid -( I have been doing a mozz string cheese stick and 2.25 oz of trail mix ( Power Up brand Anti-Oxident) And Fair Life White or Choc Milk... Anyone else had this happen and any suggestions to help me? Thanks!- 12 replies

Thank you all, My surgeon has told me that I need to keep the liquid diet up and ONLY if the headaches are BAD do the milk, cheese, and trail mix. He also informed me that for my height and build that my Liver being as big as it is was such a surprise ( He has done over 400 surgeries and RARELY is surprised) I appreciate anyone's meal plans suggestions;) Also I am taking something my Chiropractor suggested ( it's 3 servings of veggies in a pill.. Brand is Standard Process "Cruciferous Complete for liver functionability ) I will add eating the veggies steamed with the juicing.. I feel a heck of a lot better HEALTH wise since I have been juicing.... Also, My dietician said she'd email me some recipes for smoothies and other broth type meals;) Also, going to stock up on the V8 thanks to @Cat268.. Really, THANKS!! Keep posting you meals for me please and any supplements you are all taking. -

Thanks all to the answers and conversation.. I haven't been diagnosed with Fatty liver, But my doctor said that mine is the largest he has come across during his surgeries ( He said it ENORMOUS)... Not something to mess around with ;/ So I am taking the shrinking PRETTY darn serious.... My top weight has been just under 300 (297) I'm at 271 right now.. The diet that they told me to be on is Liquid.. All liquid ( not clear, But I'm sure that's what he will tell me tomorrow..My appt is at 8:30am) Vsgann2014 and Shrinking Peach, I will definitely ask him for a more defined Plan;) I NEED IT... Also, the headaches aren't as bad as Brandeett, but Getting there... That's why I was supplementing the trail mix, mozz and milk.. Otherwise, Mostly all chicken and veggies.. Blended or smoothie-ing everything...We're also Juicing all our veggies twice a day ( about 8-12 oz each time) I'm trying to drink more Water today because I feel stopped up (or harder/muddy-like bowel movements).. Sorry for the TMI all... Rnsleever715, I sure hope that you don't have to go through this when you have surgery... I am going to cut down the cheese and trailmix... I sure appreciate you all being here for me with answers and advice.. and any help from you all is APPRECIATED SINCERELY
