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!!!

      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.
