Me too. I've only been on the liver reduction a week but at night I'm so so hungry. I counted the calories and I've been taking in less than 500 most days. No wonder I'm tired. I'm also sooo looking forward to some time off work. I feel so burned out and having trouble really concentrating the last week. I go in on Tuesday and can't wait.




Seraya how are you holding up?

How was yesterday? Remember this is temporary!

Everything went well with my second pre-op diet. I see some difference in my tummy and legs. I'm seeing stretch marks and jiggles.

Hi Jen!

I was thinking of you. Monday is your big day. Tuesday is mine.

im doing OK though it depends on when you ask. I've been sticking to things even though sometimes I just want to pig out on a pizza or something. I don't. I know why I'm doing this and that keeps me going. I got some new Protein powder that I like a lot better and I think that helps too. Night time is the harderst when I don't have the distraction of work to help take my mind off the physical and head hunger. After work is always when I I would do my biggest eating so I need some new evening habits. Been walking the dog a lot more. It's great that we are going into better weather. I live in Buffalo and definitely get seasonal depression in the winter. I'm going to the store later today for my final pre-surgical shopping for some clear broth, yogurt, and Propel Water (for some reason my doc likes that). A little house cleaning and laundry, pedicure, shave my legs (LOL), and then tomorrow I pick my step mom up from the airport (she's coming to help me out). I reread my special clear liquids only diet for Monday, got my magnesium citrate for the bowel prep, and just need to pack what I want to bring to the hospital. It's getting very real. I ended up taking Monday afternoon off once I Found out about the bowel prep.

good luck. Please check in and let me know how you're doing.

They never mentioned bowel prep to me. Hmm. I wonder if everyone has to do it.
You sound like all your ducks are in a row and you're good to go!

Yeah. Noon the day before we have to drink 10 oz of magnesium citrate. They use it a lot in prep for colonoscopy. Plus that day is clear liquids only. Gonna be a tough one.

I'm doing a lot of the same things. I've been to the store twice and each time I forget something. So I have one more trip today and then its cleaning the house. I am in S FL and am currently at the beach -- my holy place.

I had my first screw up last night with my lean protein. I was at a restaurant starving for my one meal of the day and ordered pork that was fried. I didn't realize it until I was eating. Not the end of the world, but disappointed that I messed up 2 days before surgery.

Good for you on taking Monday afternoon off!

I'll check in as soon as I am up to it. Good luck on Tuesday!!

      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.
