Ladies! I was in your shows less that 3 weeks ago and let me tell you! I was miserable!!! I even considered cancelling because the pre-op was so dang hard. I survived by adding Mio to my Water and eating SF Jello to trick my brain into thinking I was eating. I even froze it to have "ice cream". No one said this would be easy and how dare the nay-sayers say we took the easy way out! Be proud and be good! It will pay off!!!

oh em gee!!!!! i was thinking the same dang thing!!!! uuuuuugh...

I followed the Quick Weight Loss plan for 10 days of my 14 day pre op diet because I knew I would loose the weight and I started my 2 shakes and 1 meal on day 11. It worked because I lost 17 lbs by my surgery date. The purpose is to get your liver to shrink for the surgery. I don't regret it because the doc said my liver looked great and smaller during the surgery. I also did Water aerobics every other day during my pre op.

I think I will hit the Water aerobics when I am released to do so. I'm ready!

All I want to say is that if you have done your pre-op diet and followed it to the letter and lost weight Hooray for you!!! That is fantastic!! However, don't look down on people who are struggling! We are all in the same boat, and have, if not this time, then on some other diet, cheated! no one is perfect! The ONLY time you should look down on someone, is if you are leaning down to help them back up! We should cheer eachother on, encourage eachother, etc. But do not chastize!!! I am not naming any names, but I have seen negative comments on this site! We're all on this site to get help and support from people who are just like us! Please be kind people! Thank you!!

I really do love my hospital/clinic/surgeon. They really care that we do our best and understand everything. Today I went to a pre-op seminar with 9 other people (none of whom were getting lapband, lol). It's the 2nd seminar and they went over nutrition in greater detail.

They gave us free packets of Protein mixes to try like powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Bariatric Advantage and Beneprotein. I'm going to try some out this week and see how it goes. I still plan to rely on Premier shake for the pre-op diet but I'm going to pick up beneprotein. Its a flavorless powder that I will add to Soups because I know I will be having tons of those!

they also gave us free samples of some Vitamin brands. The Multivitamins, Calcium and Iron. Man the opurity Multivitamin was really not great and that's the one I had wanted. Again, will try a different brand tomorrow.

Today was Day 4 and it was by far the hardest so far. I kept seeing food EVERYWHERE. Ugh. My diet is 5 Carnation Instant Breakfast No Sugar Added shakes, unlimited Clear liquids, and 200 calories of fruits/veg. So far I've "cheated" twice with lean meat but my surgeon said that lean meat occasionally is OK.

I think I read somewhere that days 3-4 are the worst, and then it gets better - I hope that's true! Only 6 days to go!

What day are you on? I'm on 7. It's hard, but after about the third or fourth day it DOES get better, I promise!! I was at the point a couple of days ago where I wanted to just LICK a piece of HAM!!

      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.
