Dr. Alvarez Pre-op Diet?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! Ok so I have a surgery date of 9/12/13. I fly in on the 11th. I'm getting down to almost no time with this. I have been in close contact with Susan during all this, but until they pick up my deposit on Monday, I am just waiting. I know she has confirmation of deposit she will send me a bunch of stuff that includes all instructions. I am 5ft 3in and about 220. If anyone close tp me knows a little more than I do about this pre-op stuff and what all I will have to do, please be a doll and share. Thanks :-)

I did not have to do a pre op diet with Dr alvarez due to low bmi but my buddy had to do a low carbs shake for two weeks

Protein Shakes I'm not sure exactly but others talk of a veggie Soup recipe that Susan has. Dr a has a book on Amazon that is very well organized with all the stages

      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.
