I am on day 3 out of 12 on my pre-op diet. 4 Protein shakes or bars a day plus one high protein/low carb meal.

I really struggled yesterday with feeling SO HUNGRY... but today I'm feeling more confident. I think a lot of my anxiety on this diet is caused by me being so used to eating and snacking on things that taste a certain way.

The shakes and bars are NOT tasty... in fact, they are kind of gross. But they DO make me feel full... so I'm trying to get used to the fact that if I'm feeling full and craving other stuff at the same time, it's really not HUNGER... it's HEAD hunger and it's essential that I train my body to deal with it better.

I've just finished day 6 of the liquid diet. I've lost 15lbs since the 1st of the year. I knew I would have to do the liquid for 2 weeks so I started preparing myself the 1st so I cut out sugar and tea (I'm from the south so sweet tea is a staple). I think that has helped me with the liquid diet. I've taken my shakes out for pizza with my family and didn't even cheat with 1 bite. I've been fine so far and I truly hope I can stay this strong for the remainder of my 2 weeks.

I will say I had green tea (hot) tonight and was surprised at how full and satisfied it made me feel. I've had clear Soup from Japanese restaurants which I love! And I've made homemade bone broth. First time I tried it I love it but 2nd time was gross. I'm going to keep trying because it's got to be better for you than canned broth.

I started my four shake/1 "reasonable" meal diet today. Surgery is the 30th. I'm so crabby! I am trying to knock it off and not think about all the stuff I won't be having and think about how GOOD I am going to feel. I think after a couple days once the sugars get out of my system I will be okay. Good luck to all of you... we can totally do this!

Just look on the bright side you get one meal a day. That's better than a lot of us have. , but I hear it gets better after. Like day 3 so hold in there you can do it

      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.
