Recommended Posts

Im having my final evaluation next week and then i start my 10 day fast. I know theres several of you didnt have to do a 10 fast but for the ones that did and was successful can you please give me some help on what to drink, and what not to drink. And how long did it take for you not to pull your hair out during the fast? Thank you so much. Im trying to meet you all on the losers bench

I had to do 14 days of Clear liquids. What helped me was getting a variety of different flavored products. After a few days of the Protein shakes, I was about to lose it so I switched to drinking mostly Protein fortified broths (added unflavored protein). My favorites are: swanson reduced sodium chicken broth, miso easy (instant miso broth- pretty good stuff) and I got broth from a pho restaurant as well (I strained this). I was allowed sugar free Jello and popsicles too. I drank a variety of flavors of Powerade zero, different hot teas, and crystal light. I would recommend switching back and forth between sweet and savory things on the list .

I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but for me, the pre-op fast was a lot harder than the first few days of post op, I am currently 5 days post op and am easily satisfied by the thin creamy Soups & Protein Shakes and Water that I am allowed. No more all consuming hunger like there was during the pre-op diet.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the teas that I drank were all decaffeinated. Best of luck to you.

Its day one for me of pre-op liquids. I'm just tired from not having morning coffee and switching to Decaf. I will tell you that the Proti chocolate Protein Shakes are great! Got a case from my surgeons office, already pre measured bottles..just add Water. Also the Proti Protein Bars in Carmel Crunch and Salted Toffee Pretzel are delish. snack is a sugar free Jello cup, and a sugar free Popsicle. Hopefully I will have more energy next few days. Surgery date is Sept 1st.

      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.
