1st day of pre-op diet n I ate like 3 baby dill pickles. So I cheated gotta get my mind right already. Just needed something besides liquids.

☆Jeni☆

I picked up some sugar free popsicles to give something to "crunch" when I'm tired of the shakes. maybe You could Do Something Like That. Good luck!

I can only hope for a July surgery.....I have my 5 hour block appointment tomorrow for all the testing, if all paperwork is good and insurance says it's a go, how long after your testing did you have to wait to schedule surgery?

I was scheduled the next day after I got approved cause I had did everything.

I am so excited for my July 25th date!!! I've even started eating low carb so that when I start my 2 week preop liquid diet I've already went through the carb withdraw and hopefully it will be easier! One giant adjustment at a time.

After the first week of liquids is over, I bought some baby food for the following weeks. I was told I can puree some chicken with fat-free gravy or chicken broth, so I will attempt that. Stocking up on unsweetened apple sauce, sugar free puddings, ricotta, oatmeal, grits, all the mushy stuff.

@@BarefootDrummer hey, reaching-out because I could have written everything you just posted. Would love to connect. I am having surgery on the 25th. So far I have only told only my husband and plan to keep it that. I'm 43 have yo-yo'd my whole life, but I am super active. Happily married, one daughter and I live in DC.

That's awesome!

I have cancelled my surgery. Since I have a lower BMI, my Holistic doctor has persuaded me to try the HCG Protocol first as an alternative to surgery.

I will starting Phase 1 in one and a half weeks.

Good luck!!

I took HCG injections and they did not work at all! It was a waste of $895!

Mine is July 15th. So much to do before then! They want me on a week pre op diet. I just recently heard about the Hair loss related to surgery so I am getting OGX Biotin & collagen Shampoo which someone told me about. Other than that no worries! lol

      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.
