Just got my date, August 18th. One of the biggest thing I am worried about is getting enough Water, I hate the taste (or lack of) water. I am trying to prepare for this as much as possible mentally, emotionally, and practically. I can drink water fine, as long as it has some flavor in it, infused water is great. I haven't read anywhere if it is ok or not. My idea was to prepare lots of little zip locks with cut up fruit like lemons, strawberries, limes, peaches, oranges, cucumbers, ect. Then freeze them so I just had to pull a bag out the night before and the next day I have my full pitcher of water to drink. Anyone know if this is ok or not? There isn't any sugar added and you aren't eating the fruit.

I don't see why it would be a problem...but you may want to ask your dr

Fruits have a lot of sugar in it. Although it's natural sugar, sugar still equals calories. My NUT recommends Crystal Lite or Mio. However, this is an excellent question for your NUT.

Drinking large amount of cold Water at one time makes me nauseated so I drink it room temperature Water and that prevent the nausea.

Good luck.

I know my NUT didn't have a problem with infused Water, and in fact gave me a list of several tasty fruit/veggie combinations that she liked. (heavy on cucumber and mint)

They have those plastic bottles at Wal-Mart you can add the mint and cucumber into the infuser. I think they are around $6.88.

      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.
