What works for some, may not work for others. For me, I changed my eating habits immediately after my first consult with surgeon & NUT to prepare for post op. Lost 18 lbs from july thru Oct by eating high Protein, low carbs. Really cut back on junk food, no fast food, drank more Water, gave up caffeine & beer. Didn't eat after 7 pm.

The first few days was hard, but then I focused on what I needed to do to make this entire journey a success.

Cut the sugars fast food out!Start walking daily if you can't join the gym and good eating smaller in size and lots of WATER! You can do it I had my first visit on 6-4-13 257lb as of today I'm 245lb and going down next NuT visit is the 8th after hope to get a sleeve date.

My doc had us switch to Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch, and then switch to a low carb regular dinner at night. No snacking after 7:00. It wasn't easy but I lost the weight he wanted me to before the surgery.

      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.
