Mix up the liquids... don't use the same things constantly. Variety spices it up a bit.

I was on 14 days of liquids only. Three opti fast and all the crystal light, sugar free Jello and chicken broth I could drink. It was pure torture.

I'm 4 days post op now, and I promise it was worth it. A tiny bit of food makes me feel full and stay that way for hours.

Biggest trick for me was to fill up on sugar free Jello and crystal light. I was also allowed the 15 cal popsicles. I would just chain eat / drink these things until my stomach felt like it would explode. Then I would go to bed. I slept as much as 14 hours on my worst days.

As a man, I really just don't feel I should cry, but that diet nearly had me in tears more than once.

Those two weeks, I had only two goals:

- Don't cheat

- Don't snap on anyone (family or work)

Hang in there!

      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.
