You will do great! It's amazing the difference a week makes. I'm a week banded and you were still waiting to hear back from Trus Results. Good Luck!

I am having my surgery on Tuesday 7/10 and I'm in my pre-op diet. I hear a lot about how y'all are on a liquid pre-op diet. My Dr is having us do the Atkins diet for 2 weeks before surgery. This way it shrinks the liver allowing him more room to lift it out of the way to get to the stomach. Is this the same with the liquid diet? Does it have ye same effect? I did very well today. ....my sister made sure there was food for me. Had some chicken and some squash. It is not easy to curb the cravings I have and it is def not easy to cut out the snacking. But I'm making it! I think the hardest part about this diet over the holiday weekend was I couldn't have an ice cold beer.....BUT the rewards will be so much greater than the short term satisfaction!

Great job....if you can get through the holiday without indulging you are really doing great every doctor uses a different diet format but over all its low carb high protien and low fat....whethers its Atkins protien shakes whatever if you keep your carbs low(I stay around 40g) and the fat low it forces the body to use your stored fat for energy. The first to go is your liver fat. the high protien(60-70g) is to protect your muscles and tissues (made from protien) from being broken and used instead of the fat

Yuck Day 4 of liquid diet. Feeling very hungry all day today. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

Not feeling good at all. I hear day 4 is the nigh hurdle. I gone straight liquids even though doc said I could have some greens and 3 oz lean meat. Maybe later, but I am on a roll.
