Recommended Posts

Getting ready to start the liver shrinking diet. A little nervous about what to eat/drink. But getting really excited about my surgery.

There isn't anything to be nervious about. Follow your dietition's advice and try not to cheat, (which

isn't as easy as it sounds!) but we all did it. The surgery itself amounts to you going in lying down

on the bed and waking up in recovery. Nothing to it. Best of luck.

You can do it! I'm getting banded on the same day. What's your pre-op look like? I have a week of low-cal/low carb dieting to do. It's one of the least restrictive pre-op diets I've seen people have, but I'm still not looking forward to it! Being only a week though, I know I can do just about anything for that little time!

      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.
