1st day liquid diet

[lrogoz 11]

Day one of liquid diet here, but I only get to have clear liquid sugar free drinks, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, and broth. Not even a Protein shake here.

For how long? That Clear liquids thing is usually only for the last day or two pre-op.

Wow. That is definitely no fun! Can you at least have clear Protein drinks like Isopure or Syntrax nectar?

[lrogoz 11]

Nope basically starvation. No more than 10 calories per item

That is truly extreme. Did they give you any scientific or medical reason why this is necessary?

But your liver will shrink by just putting your body into ketosis, which you do by consuming under 20 grams of carbs per day. Clear liquids is not a requirement for shrinking the liver. The VAST majority of us are able to drink low carb Protein shakes while on our pre-op liver-shrinking diet.

Wow 20 grm of carbs a day

My diet is strictly prepared foods I had to buy from Dr and it is about 45 to 60 grams a day of carb, with 80 grms of Protein

The quickest route to ketosis is to stay under 20... that's why 20 grams is the first stage of Atkins and then you gradually add carbs back. But every surgeon's pre and post-op plans are different. Best to stick to you surgeon's plan so if anything comes up, they will have a better idea of how to handle it.
