Good luck with the pre-op diet. It's rough, but doable. I've lost several pounds already. This is my 6th day. I have surgery the 23. Hang tough the first 3 or 4 days and it really does get easier. Thoughts and prayers going out to all July 11 sleevers. Keep us posted.

I actually have previous experience with being on a liquid diet. strangely enough my doctor is having me do 8 days of 2 shakes with 1 meal of 3-4oz of Protein like chicken/fish with some select veggies then 2 days before the surgery i go Clear liquids.

I know some people have to do something like 2 weeks of liquids so I guess I am lucky in that respect.

I had my upper GI today and I couldn't eat or drink before it. Since I had anotheer appointment after it, I packed a vanilla carnation. After that nasty, nasty barium I couldn't face the Protein Drink and had to eat something solid. Since I am allowed 6 Carnations a day, I counted my solid food as 2 and will finish the day with 4. I have been tasting that Barium all day and feel like it is stuck in my esophagus!

Why is it that some doctors prescribe a liquid diet my doctor here in Dubai just advised on a no fat diet ... Does anyone know why the difference?

It could be that your BMI is not very high (35 or so). Fat swells the liver.

All you pre-op diet folks, first, good luck and second, just remember that the purpose is to help your surgeon and make your surgery safer and your recovery faster! Trust me, cheating isn't worth any extra pain or a larger hole for the liver retractor post-op.

      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...

      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.
