I'm on day two of my pre-op. I have to do two Protein smoothies (i can add frozen fruit if I like, no bananas) and I am to have one "lean and green" meal a day. I can handle this. It's mostly mental...

That's what I keep telling myself. :P

I totally understand, how are we to follow a liquid diet for 10 days or more.....if that were the case, I'd be skinny and healthy instead of having to have surgery...lol I just finished my 12 month requirement by my insurance and getting everything together to submit to insurance for approval (keep fingers and toes crossed)....but of all the things I've been thru these last twelve months, I am so dreading this liquid diet thing cause I do not think I can do it at all :(

Hang in there, you can do it! I just completed 3 weeks on liquids (two pre-op, 8 days since surgery). Really looking forward to mushies next week! For me, keeping a variety of liquids available was key so you don't get tired of chocolate shakes! I have had chocolate and strawberry shakes, Unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein, unflavored protein in cream and Tomato Soups, and Isopure fruit flavored protein drinks.I really look forward to having soups in the evening when the family is having dinner, it makes me feel more like I am 'eating' with the rest of the family!

      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.
