    I'm on day 5 of the pre op diet, and some days are easier than others. Yes, I think more fluid helps, and also sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello. Im also allowed low carb protein shakes. I'm hungry all the time, too! We will persevere!

    Cheating on Pre-Op Liver Shrinking Diet

    Briswife15 replied to Elizabeth94's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Did your doctor's directions for the liver shrinking diet include chips and guacamole? If not, then yes, it's cheating! I'm allowed plain grilled chicken 2 oz so if you ate plain chicken that's probably ok. Guacamole is high in fat, and the point is low or no fat, and no sugar . All plans are different, but it sounds like cheating! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Thanks, Frustr8, I was afraid I'd have to go to a specialty store!! Good luck finding your way around your reconfigured grocery store!🙄

    I don't know about the sodium, but i can't eat chicken, or regular food until 7 weeks post surgery. I think i can have ground up chicken earlier, though. Ask your team. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    I use the Diclofenac topical for my severely arthritic knees, and it does help!! I also received steroid shots in my knees which made a huge difference! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Thanks GradyCat! I'm glad to hear you didn't have problems. From reading on here it seems common!!

    Thanks for your reply Green Tealael! I hope I don't have any problems swallowing too! BTW, I just love reading your posts. Always encouraging and helpful.

    Actually, obese individuals with fatty liver do have enlarged livers from fat within the liver. The diet is to make the liver smaller so the surgeon can work in there safely.
  13. Briswife15
    Maybe you should tell your concerns to your team. I think once you are approved for surgery at a certain BMI it doesn't matter if you drop below. The liver needs to be nice and healthy. Not fatty for the surgeon's ease in doing the surgery. I would do the diet as long as your doctor told you to.

    Check with your program to see if you can do creamed soups on this diet. I can't. You don't want to mess up the liver shrinking! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    I just finished day one, so I am mo pro, but my program allows Stevia in the plain yogurt. I found it to be easier than I expected, but we'll see how tomorrow goes! We can do this!! Jow many calories are you taking in a day?

    My surgeon requires me to shower the night before surgery, and again the morning of surgery with an antibacterial soap called Hibiclens. Did anyone else have to do that? Any tips, precautions, advice? Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Showering with Hibiclens?

    Briswife15 replied to Briswife15's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

    Yes, he did give me instructions, but I was looking for insider tips from folks who had done it!! Thanks for your reply.

    Hi, there! My surgery is March 27th and I'm taking a month off, too. I figured I needed some time to adjust to eating purees before I went back, and I'm sure we'll be tired for the first few weeks. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
