Second day of liquid diet. Not so bad yet. Made it to the gym last night. We will see if I make it tomorrow.




I am very lucky to not have a all liquid pre op diet. I give you props haha I have a Protein Shake for Breakfast then a snack which is either a Protein Bar or Greek yogurt and then lunch is a Protein shake and then I get another snack then for dinner it's 6 ounces of lean protein, 1 cup of cooked vegetables(2 cups if raw) and 1/2 cup of a starch then one more protein shake before bed if I'm hungry! Good luck though! The 26th will be here before we know it![emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

okay I am in the pre-op stages and ive been waiting for the date. I just wanna know already. I have 1 more nutrition appointment....how long after that did you find out? when did you start all of your pre-op things? I had to do 6 months of nutrition and of course the general other tests. all my tests came back perfect..and now this 1 appointment is next week. just wondering how soon I can expect a date. I'm too excited...we are gonna be some sexy mother-truckers for summer :P congrats to everyone with their dates! Good luck!

My doctor said they do this to shrink the liver. Also to prepare you for the liquid diet after surgery. After the first day I was pretty sure my liver was going to be the size of a pea by my surgery date! Actually it hasn't been all that bad after the first few days.

The hard part is being around everyone else that is eating food that smells wonderful. [emoji23]

I got the call yesterday that my insurance approved my vsg surgery for april 26th! I am so excited! I just want these next 4 weeks to speed up haha anyone else have a surgery date of 4/26?

I'm on the 26th too! I'm beyond excited I thought my documentation wouldn't be enough (the wording on my pulmonary note was a little weird at first) but it was approved right away! It's been 8months of weigh ins and consults, I'm so glad that's over.

So my surgeon had something come up and is canceling all his surgeries on Wednesday the 26th and the earliest they could reschedule me was for June 7th. I'm so mad and frustrated

Second day of liquid diet. Not so bad yet. Made it to the gym last night. We will see if I make it tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a week on the liquid diet and I am down 11 pounds. I have also managed to get to the gym 3 times also. Kept my normal exercises and weights the same. But the sets and reps are down a lot.

Damn, that's my biggest fear. So sorry this happened to you.

      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.
