7 days of Glorious Food and Many Days of Liquids...



Recommended Posts

So...my surgery date is "set" for Jan 4, 2007 so I am now on my 10 days of 'nothing but liquid' diet that seems to be very popular with everyone on here! I hear alot of people having one "last meal"...Being the over achiever that I am, I didnt have my "last supper", it was more like a week of smorgasboard...I ate everything I ever wanted to eat, including chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatos, Pie...you name it, I ate it! :hungry: And now I am making my self soooo hungry just talking about food because I have 8 more days of liquids to go before my surgery. Ohhhh, how am I going to make it? Cuz' I have 2 more weeks of liquids AFTER my surgery. Wow! I think I am going to lose about 50 pounds within the first 3 weeks!!!

Anyway, I am NOT complaining. I am just wondering this: If I melt some chocolate in my mouth, is that considered a solid?!

Steph,

DON'T go for the chocolate. The purpose of the liquid diet pre-op is to shrink the fatty liver to make it easier for the surgeons to operate. Stick with the liquids and you'll be glad you did. It also makes the liquids AFTER surgery easier to handle if you stick with it beforehand.

My doc recommended 2 weeks of liquids and I could have 2 cups of raw or cooked veggies a day (no potatoes, corn, peas, etc). It was only tough for one day (Day 5) and that was it. I did the SlimFast Optima shakes and I lost 23 pounds in those 2 weeks before the surgery.

Good luck!!!

      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.
