maryd2929 12 Posted June 29, 2016 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!

SashaMLS 33 Posted June 29, 2016 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.

missdeeAus 69 Posted June 29, 2016 Hi all - day 3 in pre op diet. My diet allows a Protein Bar replacement in place of the shake. They are so much nicer. Do u think in order to shrink the liver the liquid form is better? Or is it more about the low carbs? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!!
