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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
