Day 4 Of My 21 Day Liquid Only Diet

[amanda 6]

How did he know your liver is huge?

Scope?

What is a normal amount of time post op to be on only liquids? I thought it was everyone three weeks liquid, three puree? For the liquids, is slim fast acceptable? I don't know how you get Protein in without it. Is Protein Water ok? I kind of feel like they are throwing me in here with no prep. I'm having it Thursday and I'm terrified. I almost feel like I shouldn't do it. I'm really worried about loose skin too...

Amanda slow down you will be all right.

Check with your doctor they all do it different some say 2 weeks on liquid after surgery some just go right to purée .

Just remember if not sure what to do Call Your Doctor that's what their there for to help you out.

You will be fine

Good luck

Try Protein drink mix whey powder or Carnation instant Breakfast with skim milk.any Protein Drink as long as it is sugar free and fat free and low carbs.

sugar free Popsicle are great way to help get your liquid in. Don't know about Protein Water but if it's sugar free and no cals have at it

Thanks, Paul. I'm not sure, there might be a little sugar/carb in the protein Water, but not much if so. Slim fast I know has calories...but both of those would have more substance to them than like plain skim milk.

I gained twelve and it took four days to come off and after that I have lost 6 more.

I didn't have a liquid diet pre op, but I have a three week one post op. Did you weigh yourself right away or give yourself time? I just weighed myself today at my one week mark. I lost ten this week, and had lost ten presurgery over time, so all in all I'm down 20. That's horrible about being back in the hospital. I hope you're feeling better. We are at about the same place (mine was 8/30) so are you feeling normal yet? I'm not. Way better than before but not normal.

ok what my Dr. told me was if the liver doesn't shrink they can't do the surgery laproscopicly they have to open you all the way up! so the choice is yours!! good luck!
