Liver shrink diet issues



Recommended Posts

Hi all, tomorrow is my last day of this bloody diet and I'm thankful. Thankful it's taught me I can survive on lots less food than needed, that headhunger is different to normal hunger and low salt levels play havoc on bowel.

Did anyone else suffer from issues with the LSD or PreOp diet?

Hi, I once did a liquid diet of Water 27 days. Then juiced vegetables for 14. I understand how you feel. I became tired toward the end of both, and that due to lack of Protein.

Generally these diets are not healthy. If you have some activity liquid diets take from stored fat and also from the heart muscle (what my doctor told me.)

I'll be starting my pre op diet today, and I'm not too concerned. I'm thinking for me personally it's a great start to weight loss.

I didn't have too much trouble with the water and veggie juice fasting, but know the pre op will be a bit more challenging. Still going to try my best to stay on plan.

My surgery is June 19th with the probability of being moved up, so I've a ways to go and staying on a liquid pre op diet that long is too much, so will allow myself hard boiled eggs and apples/clementines this months and taper off them about ten days from surgery.

My doctor told me it doesn't matter if his patients do pre op diet or not since they've no way to tell if the liver will have shrunk or not until they are in there, and sometimes the pre op makes no difference, plus he can get in there anyway.

I wish you the best of luck with your sleeve, sounds like you're off to a great start.

      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.
