Oh boy, I was approved in 24 hours & tomorrow is the big day. I'm super nervous & hungry as heck right now. Clear diet is a bummer. I hope I'm making the right decision. I've researched & reviewed a million times & I think this will be the best tool for my lifestyle. The idea of throwing up & not being able to eat is what freaks me out the most. I don't have any grandiose visions of being a size 2 or obsessing over my scale, I simply just want to be healthy. No more pills for hbp, no more being uncomfortable on a airplane. I just want to be a average women that's comfortable in her own skin. Wish me luck & say a quite prayer for me.

The only thing that helped me with the gas pains was a heating pad. You can use that or hot Water bottle or those bean bags you can heat up (get that before your surgery, you'll need it) & walking. To be honest the gas pain was the worse part. Still hurts at night. I only had to do the clear for 24 hours before. I did chicken broth w/ Protein powder in it, Jello, Popsicles & hot tea....& repeat:). When are you doing yours?

      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.

      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.
