Have you met with your surgeon's dietitian yet? S/he will go over this with you - mine is a high-protein, calorie-limited diet. I just track Protein grams and calories in My Fitness Pal.

I didn't have a supervised diet but my surgeon wanted 4 ounces of Protein every 3 hours.

That lasted like 9 days for me lol. I had mix in other things besides just 4 ounces of chicken breast or turkey lol. I started tracking my food on my fitness pal and focusing on Protein first, drinking my Water and walking. Doing that I was able to lose 12 lbs in 3 months.

But I gained some of it back because I'm undisciplined and like food.

They encourage you to eat 3 meals...on a 9" plate they want you to divide your meal 1/4 protein (4 0z), 1/4 carbs, 1/2 veggies;also two 100 cal Snacks... the will give you handouts and visual aids for portion sizes...

Be sure to tell the Nutritionist what you normally eat - not what you think you should be eating. Depending on your history and habits - they may recommend something different than what we've been told. Take notes! There's a lot of info to remember! This is your opportunity to ask questions too.

      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.
