Liver reduction diet protein shake



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I had a group meeting recently with the dietitian at my doctors office to discuss the liver reduction diet. The dietitian made the suggestion to add a teaspoon of sugar free pudding to the shake to add more flavor. I must say this is the answer to making these shakes decent. So far I got chocolate, vanilla, banana cream and lemon pudding for my shakes.

Just thought I would share this for those who are struggling with Protein Shakes because they are generally not very good. I know when I first tried the shakes all the flavors tasted the same.

Now I finally have the answer and feel way more prepared to start the liver reduction diet this Saturday!

That's a great trick, I haven't done that in ages.

Da Vinci also makes some good sugar free syrups you can add to your shakes for some variety (as sugar free pudding only comes in a handful, da Vinci has like 60+ flavors)

Another option is to just make sugar free Protein pudding, which is basically the exact same ingredients (assuming you're using milk) just now you can eat it.

I use Torani sugar free syrups. My fave is to make a frappucino - 1 cup cold coffee, scoop of vanilla Protein Powder, chocolate and caramel sugar free Syrup. Ice. Blend.

Another is to use chocolate Protein powder, 1 scoop of PB2, a shot of caramel sugar free syrup and Water. Add ice, blend. Snickers shake.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
