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

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)

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!

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.

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

      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.
