So, yesterday on my first day of the live reduction diet, I have a handful of home cooked peanuts and a spoon full of an omelette. Did I mess up?

you asked, did you mess up? Unless eggs and peanuts are on your pre-op diet, then yes, you messed up. Is it likely to derail your surgery? I really doubt it. The liver reduction diet is meant to be low carb, low sugar, and high Protein, and your choices fall in those ranges. If I were you I would focus on being more compliant going forward -- if nothing else this is good practice for being compliant post-op -- but not beat yourself up about a few peanuts and bites of eggs. They aren't going to harm your prospects for surgery or hurt you (repeated self-sabotaging might so I am not suggesting you keep doing it!). Overall it sounds like you are doing well and a minor slip like this is something to keep an eye on, to make sure it doesn't keep happening, but it isn't something to get down on yourself about. Good luck!

@@Latoya1214 I am not sure -- we didn't have a diet just like yours at the practice I used. I would call up your surgeon's office and check to be sure.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
