Today is my 2nd day on the liver shrink diet. Both days I have had an average of 20 grams of fat, 2500 sodium, and 150 carbs... I am wondering if this is to much... the dietitian told me that fat was the main part to cut out but she didnt give me a number... I have been following the plan they gave me but I still feel like it maybe to much and I dont want my surgery interfered with in any way lol Thoughts please?

How many grams of fat were you able to have? My NUT just told me to cut out fat. Sent from my SM-T217S using the BariatricPal App -
Liver shrink... Am I eating to many carbs?
rmarylee09 replied to rmarylee09's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
The actual shake only has like 9 carbs. I was saying i had around 150 for the day. My surgeon gave me a plan where i can have a bar or shake for Breakfast and lunch and a small meal with 3oz of meat, salad, 2 low cal bread, and unlimited non starchy veggies. I'm just hoping thats not to many carbs, but i only had about 20g of fat lol idk... my NUT takes forever to call me back so I'm just doing my best. -
I am waiting on my approval from insurance... During my psych evaluation he asked me if I had smoked marijuana before and I told him I had but I hadn't smoked that nor cigarettes since I signed my no smoking contract back in October and that i should be drug tested but my advocate said that his evaluation was inconclusive and didn't say if I would be a good candidate or a bad candidate... i gave my advocate a copy of a recent drug test I did for work and she said she was going to write her letter but if I hadn't head from her by Thursday that means that would have to go to a review board? so I'm just wondering if anyone else has been through this too because i am so worried they will deny me...

Hi I'm Rebecca, & I'm getting Gastric Bypass :)
rmarylee09 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have always been a big girl. I have tried every diet known to man! The past year I have done my very best working out and watching what I have been eating and have lost 50 lbs. My doctor recently referred me to a weight loss surgeon, so I could lose more and have more energy and not feel like a am starving all the time. Another reason this surgery is a good idea is so I can remain healthy before any problems that can happen when people are overweight develop. I am so excited about this journey I am about to start. I know this is the change and jump start I need to finally have the life I want to have and deserve to have. If you donate, not only will I forever be grateful but I promise to keep you updated on my weight loss journey before and defiantly after surgery -

The weight loss center I go through has patient advocates who is the go to person for collecting stuff from all my drs and submitting my stuff to the insurance... since I smoked cigarettes they made me sign a no smoking contract since it can cause problems after surgery they wanted to me to sign it to show my commitment to the surgery... i didnt realize that not all places do this...

I love the Wyler pink lemonade! It only $1 for an 8 pack. I've been struggling too but the best way I have been doing it is just making myself drink it and alternating (water, diet soda, water, powerade, etc) Soda and caffeine are going to be the hardest thing to give up! Even filtered water? -

Thank you! Believe me I will... I was actually wondering about the liquid diet that I would have to do before and I guess after too lol what all does that include? (I know it may sound like a stupid question) but does that mean only shakes and Water or could we have Soups too? -
