lori575 3 Posted October 14, 2013 I have no medical issues only thyroid. That's so weird that I need all these tests done. I wonder why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm aiming for dec 2. Wow! Can't believe they are starting the diet before a date. December 2 would be wonderful! I am penciled in for Dec 27th pending insurance approval. I hope to hear something this week. Is your diet all liquids or can you have some solid food as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leepers 1,195 Posted November 18, 2013 I do have my approval. Lucky for me, the whole process was really fast and easy. I will be on an all liquid diet starting a week before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MistyfortheMountain 119 Posted November 18, 2013 I believe my doctor does a two week liquid diet. That is actually the thing I am most nervous about. They said once they get the final approval from my insurance, I will have to come in for all my dietary instructions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sengelken 51 Posted November 19, 2013 I believe my doctor does a two week liquid diet. That is actually the thing I am most nervous about. They said once they get the final approval from my insurance, I will have to come in for all my dietary instructions. I'm to have 1-2 Protein Shakes a day and 1-2 lean meals a day. No fats. I can have green veggies and 1 cup of fruit. No carrots or bananas. I was shocked. I was expecting an all liquid diet. I got this!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MistyfortheMountain 119 Posted November 19, 2013 Wow! That's great! Sounds much easier than all liquid. My understanding is the liquid diet is to shrink fat around the liver. Strangely enough I was just diagnosed last week with a fatty liver, so I'm sure the 2 week liquid diet is in my future. 1 thick2slim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
