Any suggestions or tips for the liver shrinking diet. I will be on two shakes a day, one meal of lean meat veggie salad and one high Protein lean snack. Any shake recipes etc would be greatly appreciated. Anyone use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein?

Just follow the plan and it should work. I know mine did but I didn't get an option to eat anything it was all liquid for two weeks.

i tried a new shake recipe daily on my all liquid preop diet. recipes were found by googling bariatric Protein shakes. My favorite is:

Raspberry Dream

8-12 ozs Mootopia or fat free milk/almond/soy milk

1 scoop unjury vanilla Protein powder

1 tsp of seedless, fat free, raspberry preserves

1-2 tsp Torani raspberry sugar free Syrup

Delicious!!

Consider yourself lucky that you get to chew at least once a day.

I am stuck on day 2 of my pre-op liquid diet and I have had nothing but headaches. 72 grams of Protein intake which is great, but for some reason, nothing but headaches here..........which I can chew, even it is just an olive.

I start my 2 week diet on Jan 5..I have 4 Protein Shakes a day plus sf popsicles..jello..yogurt..low sodium soups/broth..and I get unlimited veggies. My surgeon says they added the veggies because patients missed the "chewing". I am going this week for my supplies

I was on a similar diet but only for one week. I used the unjury vanilla and chocolate splendor, I added PB2 to the chocolate one (yum!) and I used Premiere Protein vanilla and chocolate cut with 4oz of skim milk. Pre op they seemed to thick and sweet and even a few weeks post op I was cutting them with skim milk. Now I can drink them no problem with nothing added.

I had marinated some chicken breasts in light Italian dressing and grilled them up and then cut them into 3oz servings to have for my dinner with a salad. I could also have a piece of fruit if I wanted so some nights when I was hungry I had an apple.

So my pre op diet was not bad at all. I lost 9lbs so I was happy!! :)

Good luck on your journey!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
