Hi Angel11!!

I am having my surgery on the 19th. I have been doing the liver shrink diet for the past three weeks. I am super excited about finally having the surgery. I started the process back in January of this year. It doesn't even seem that long ago. I hope all goes well for you!!!

Im getting sleeved on Monday, Sept. 18th. Two more days of this 2 week liquid diet. Every day on it seems to get harder & harder. Now I just want to get it over with. Hope I do as good as my other Sleeve buddies! Good Luck All!

Kristen117 , you Enlightened me on something, I didn't know the staples came out, I thought they would be in forever, the new norm...staples in the belly for life. But its good to know this.

I'm not sure what staples she had out, but the ones in our new stomach stay in. I don't think I have any staples that will come out--my teeny tiny incisions have mostly healed.

I am scheduled for sleeve surgery sept 15th and excited to see so many of us on here! I'm day three of liquids and plugging along. Keeping my eye on the long term!




We are surgery day twins! I lost about 12lbs on preop diet- put a big smile on face. Surgeon and anastheliogists even commented on my upbeat attitude! Dry mouth during overnight in hospital was awful. I have this coming week off work, trying to stay hyrdated and getting some walking in. How are you doing? How are you sleeping?

Well I have 7 more days to go. On the liquid with veggies. I'm having some serious weakness. Did anyone else deal with this. I don't even know what I'd feel like if I wasn't taking vits, Iron and B12!!! Not having hunger pains, but dang getting out of bed is hard in the morning.

All the best for your surgery tomorrow! My only advice is to be excited and positive. Honestly pain was minimal for me and recovery so quick!

Hi! I have been on a liquid only diet. I have felt the very same way! Protein Shakes, popsicles & broth, only go so far. My surgery is tomorrow :) Hang in there! This is very hard to do, but, hopefully it will pay off for both of us :)

      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.
