The Facebook group still shows up as closed rather than secret. But...my surgery date is now set for February :-(

I start my pre-op diet TOMORROW! Jan 13th surgery date, how have you all been finding the pre-op diet if you have started?

Mine has been rough. A Protein shake for 2 meals and then 4 ounces of Protein and a half cup of green vegetables for the third meal. No starches . Two servings of broth, sugar free popsicles, and sugar free Jello as needed to help with hunger which don't help all that much.

However, this time next week I'll be post-op. Trying my best to hang in there

I'm on day 7 (of 14) of a clear liquid pre-op diet. I can have 3-4 Protein shakes a day and Clear liquids (broth, sugar free Jello, non-caffeinated tea). In all honesty, it really hasn't been bad. I haven't had any bad days -- not even Christmas. I've discovered that warm liquids are my best friend!

@@dayciavu Well done on keeping up with it. Mine is pretty much the same gives me a set of what I can't eat for Breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as Snacks, very low carbs. A liquid diet would be very extreme! I would find it very hard, but excited for a better lifestyle. Officially starting tomorrow I think the first few days may be easiest as I have done various crash diets but cannot guarantee anything.

@ninamarie @ that's different maybe it depends on weight, because I do know some people I have met are on a pre-op diet for up to 4 WEEKS! It's meant to shrink the liver but lucky you for only having to drink liquids the day before

@@mizzmegan official surgery twins! Are you having to do a pre-op diet?

      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.

      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.
