Well it is Day 3 and i must say this morning I had the worst Headache. On yesterday my meals included a Yoplait Greek Yogurt smoothie, Soup and cabbage which were good. On today:

Breakfast: 2 egg whites omelette with spinach and salsa (10 grams of protein)

Snack: Muscle Milk vanilla Creme Protein Shake (25 grams of protein)

Lunch: salad with fat free french, oranges and vegan soup

Snack: Yoplait Greek Yogurt smoothie whey Protein (30 grams of protein)

Have no idea about dinner but it will probably be vegetables. I am only to have three meals a day with two Protein Shakes in between. However, starting next Wednesday after my preop appointment, I think I am going to move to clear liquid for the remainder just to make sure. However, I got on the scale today and already down 4 pounds!!

We can and WILL do this!!!

This is Day 1 of my two week Liquid Protein 800 calorie diet. Ive been awake for about 5.5 hours and haven't cracked yet! Lol.

My head is being aweful. I don't like Taco bell much, never had. Why oh why would I give my pinky nail for Taco Bell right now? This is going to be a long two weeks if my brain doesn't knock it off. I can do this! White knuckle it if I have to.

LOL...I experienced unusual cravings at first. I was expecting to yearn for chocolate candy, pizza, and French fries but wanted popcorn instead. Strange, I know. You can do it, and hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

It is interesting to read about all the different pre-op diets that people are on. I don't start mine until April 12 (circled on the calendar). I am allowed the following:

Breakfast: Protein Shake with 2 servings of no sugar added fruit (fresh or frozen) which can be in the shake or not.

lunch same as Breakfast

Dinner: lean cuisine or weight watcher dinner

2 additional servings of skim milk, juice, fruit and a few other things that are on the list

Unlimited no sugar items like Jello, popcicles

I am easing into it and have started the Protein Drinks in the morning. I have been putting frozen strawberries or raspberries in the chocolate and it is really yummy. We will see how I feel after 2 weeks of them 2x a day.

There is a doctor sitting in front of me eating skittles. I told her I would chase her down and sit on her for them. The good news is that day one is over and I only have 13 left to go.

Oooh. popcorn sounds good. Nevermind that. Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels......... Right?

GOOD cuz I need it. This pre-op diet SUCKS. If I was any good at dieting I would be a skinny B already, AND I know it's all mental. Like I'm having a hard time losing 10 lbs because I've been told I have to.

I'm pouting today.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
