I was told fat free dressing or spritz dressings were fine!

Newman's light dressings are good. Very low fat dressings are ok I was told. I really like Newman's light Balsamic vinegarette.

For liver shrinking I was told low fat, high Protein diet worked best. They recommended I use one Protein shake a day in place of a meal. Lots and lots of water!

Wait until you see your surgeon because they usually tell you what you can and can not have to shrink your liver. Good luck.

My surgeon and his dieticians were pretty clear about what we could and couldn't have. Protein shakes were fine (without milk), but we couldn't exceed 20 carbs a day. We can basically have whatever we want, as long as it's semi-healthy as long as we kept the carbs low. *shrug*

He's supposedly one of the best surgeons in the country, so I trust his guidance.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
