Recommended Posts

Ok I have been in the diet for about 9 days already I have my surgery next Monday and I was just wondering i am eating pudding sugar free will my liver still shrink?? I am following The no more the 50 grams of Protein a day no more then 40 grams of fat at day and no more then a 1000 calories a day. So will my liver still shrink if I keep eating the pudding??

I would just follow my doctors instructions. I'm at the start of a week on nothing but 5 Optifast shakes a day. Do I think my liver will still shrink if I added some actual food to that? Yes, but I'm doing what I've been told and sticking with it.

My doctor said for my pre-op diet to drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch, then I can have a lean Protein (chicken, fish, etc.) with a salad for dinner and then a protein shake at night if I need it. I am definitely EATING my dinner. ;)

My doctor put me on a low fat/low calorie diet

>\= 50 grams of Protein a day

No more then 40 grams of fat a day

No more then 1000 calories a day

So my basic meal a day is one pudding cup in the morning with a nature valley bar

lunch is 4 oz of chicken breast grilled with Lettus And crystal light and then the same for dinner if I get hungry I will eat a sugar free Popsicles

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
