3 weeks out and I can't stop eating!



Recommended Posts

I think it depends largely on the person. Like I said before I have been eating and drinking, I dont want to be tempted to cheat after the surgery and I feel as though this purge will help. Having said that my surgeon does not require a pre op diet. He doesnt care about shrinking the liver he puts a staple in the liver to hold it out of the way during surgery and then sutures it before he closes everything back up. I have not heard of other people doing this, however my surgeon is heralded as one of the best in my area so I trust him. I think that many of us probably have food addictions, but we have also probably been through this before and know what does or doesnt work for us. I think that the people that do a diet before hand, are doing what worked for them. I did medifast, and in retrospect, I wish I would have saved this for closer to surgery, then I likely would not have felt so deprived. Have I gained weight? Definitely, do I think Ill be able to stop, definitely, but with the impending surgery, it feels nearly impossible.

      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.
