liver shrinking diet: day 2



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody :) I was just curious if anyone else has the same problem I do. I'm on day 2 (of 14) of the liver shrinking diet, and I get 4 shakes and 1 lean cuisine a day. I'm hungry but whatever, I'm not tempted to cheat or anything. My problem is that I can't convince myself to drink enough liquids! I was told to make sure I get 7-8 glasses of Water or crystal light (or something similar) a day, and now day 2 is almost over.. I've probably had 2 bottles of water. I'm actually slightly sick too, with a sore throat and some allergy issues. The thought of drinking is actually grossing me out.. I try to just chug a bit of water or crystal light but I swear it's worse than taking NyQuil (ew!). So I was just curious if anyone else has/had this issue, and what you did to overcome it? Other than forcing myself I just don't see it happening. Thanks! :)

Haha, thanks! I'm glad to know I'm not crazy here. My mom keeps yelling at me ("Plug your nose and chug!") but it's tough to even do that, lol. I did realize that when I eat dinner in the evening I can drink a lot more (last night I had 2 big glasses of crystal light in one sitting) and I think that's just a behavioral habit I'm going to have to break. Ahhh the little things you notice! Lol. Good luck to you! Surgery on July 6th?

Try adding the flavored packets to your Water. They also have these new flavored liquid called Mio. It doesn't taste bad. I can't stand drinking all that water either. But they really help. I am 9 months post op. And I hate drinking water also. Good luck to water drinking.

Thank you! I was actually talking to my dad about it today and he mentioned MiO.. I'm headign to Walmart in a bit for more shakes so I'll definitely try it. Have you had the peach mango one? That looks like it might be good. That and the sweet tea, lol. Congrats @ 9 months post-op! Good luck to you too :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
