Day 7 Pre-Op Diet



Recommended Posts

I am hitting day 7 of a 21 day pre-op diet and not to bad so far. Of course the Doc hit me with a 3 week liver shrink instead of 2 because I am a big ole boy. Down 30 lbs so far with 2 more weeks to go before surgery. I had been reducing my food intake for the last 2 weeks before I started so it would not be such a shock. The Doc has allowed me a small dinner and even a yogurt if wanted per day. But so far have been following a more disciplined attack 2 to 3 Protein Drinks a day and a hot meal of fresh or canned spinach for dinner to feel good. Oh yeah the Unjury chicken Soup has helped to comfort as I found it to be very salty.

Well, 14 more days to go and as long as I stay this route I am hoping all goes well.

Unjury chicken flavor warning. Well the label did say not to get the Water to hot and boy were they right. Every other evening I have been having this as a treat because of the salty chicken flavor. Tonight the water must have been a wee bit hot because when I added the powder it would not mix right and then I ended up with a solid rubber ball. Flat out weird, and we drink this. :P

      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...

        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.
