"Snacking" on pre op diet

Shrinking a liver has less to do with calories in general versus TYPE of caloric intake, and it is a proven fact that over time Protein will sustain you longer than carb-laden foods.

She isn't getting enough protein, period.

My nutritionist helped clear up the Soup issue a little bit anyway. I am allowed 97-98% fat free cream soup only if pureed. So for Campbell's I am not allowed Tomato Soup (even though I am allowed low sodium V8 for some reason) but I am allowed 98% fat free cream of chicken, cream of mushroom and cream of broccoli even though they contain modified food starch and wheat flour which was supposed to have been eliminated lol. It's no wonder people get so frustrated doing these diets. The stress of everything has made me have a second menstrual cycle start up today

It is extremely confusing! Tomato Soup has added sugar I believe so that's usually a no go.

I will be getting more protein in today with my Isopure which is supposed to be here today (ordered online) and also I plan on having some greek yogurt with my lunch. I am hoping that the increased protein will help me feel less hungry. I also plan to do a shake for Breakfast and then for lunch I'll eat some Soup and then for dinner another shake so that I feel like I ate something in the middle of the day and won't be so hungry at night..... I HOPE lol!
