What shrinks your liver?



Recommended Posts

Thank you all for the replies to my question' date=' I really appreciate it. So my diet is good then. I have had no fats or carbs just 1 boiled egg every other day, just sugar free fluids and 1 or two Protein shakes a day. I am feeling weak and a very bad attitude. So far... I've been called into my bosses office twice in four days! Lmao! I do work with cupcakes thou.

Xoxoxo to all of you guys & gals.[/quote']

I agree with Gamegirl....stick to what your doctor has ordered. Its not worth the risk

My doctors diet was slim fast or the like in am, noon and lean cuisine at night for 10 days. Not much like a diet but it worked I guess... im sleeved. High fat/calorie diet makes for one big liver. They have to move it out of the way and in some folks its 3 times normal size. That's why the bigger you are, the more risky the surgery. Liver bleeds easy when nicked and can be hard to stop so they don't want to hurt it in anyway. My doc said if he got in there and it was too big, he would not go further. One of the reasons I passed on gallbladder removal. That and 25% of all who have it removed have the runs for life.

Funny how sooo many doctors have soo many instructions. With mine, we don't do Protein drinks, all from food, Im already doing solids although its about 6 table spoon then it just makes you feel icky, full, bloated, which is good for me. I loved food. Food is not nearly as interesting anymore :)

Now what can I removed to make me not want to go to the casinos....lol buffaloooooooooooo lol

      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.
