cnjashton 17 Posted March 5, 2015 My surgery is March 18th and I am supposed to start my liver shrink diet Saturday....I have been stocking up on Protein Shakes when I caught them on sale/coupons but I was planning on going shopping today/tomorrow for the rest of the food I need since I have had a hectic schedule but now we have like 4 inches of snow!!! Guess I will have to wing it with what I do have around the house!! Time to get creative!! Haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Truckerchic 171 Posted March 5, 2015 Good luck, mine was a total liquid diet and I way over bought lol by day 3 I was hardly hungry and only doing 2 shakes and chicken broth (which helps with the headaches too) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cnjashton 17 Posted March 5, 2015 I have the shakes and yogurt but only have grapes and carrots in the house for the kids lunches! Great tip on the chicken broth though I will have to remember that! I do a shake for Breakfast and lunch then small piece of fruit and 4 oz. of yogurt for 3 Snacks then dinner is 3 oz. piece of lean meat and steamed veggies. Plus non starchy veggies are unlimited! I am glad I am doing this rather than the liquid one pre op! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweetdove 6 Posted March 5, 2015 I live in Massachusetts.... You wouldn't believe the amount of snow if I told you. You can't see over the snow banks to turn a corner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cnjashton 17 Posted March 5, 2015 Problem here is we get a little sleet or snow and the city shuts down! Stores are out of milk and bread and people go nuts. We have had 5 snow days already this year and now another one and probably more tomorrow. If it's not too bad tomorrow I will venture out to the store Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
