Liver shrinking struggles



Recommended Posts

I'm just on low-carb, high Protein, so it hasn't been too bad. Although, I've only lost 7lbs (current weight: 235). My surgical team said they expected me to lose around 10, but I still have a few days left.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I know a lot are on liquid diets pre-op.

I've been doing a practice round this week, I noticed that if I have my super yummy Protein Shake twice a day and a few popsicles and maybe some broth, that makes me feel not hungry. I was a huge sweets person and could eat anything, drink pop, coffee. But I cut all of that to do this "test run." What's the hardest part for you?

I'm on day three of the pre-op diet and I think my body is starting to realise there are no carbs coming anytime soon! Just had lunch, Protein Shake and some salad vegetables but really need to stop the grumbling stomach. From what I've read on here after tomorrow it will be easier. Surgery 15 November.

      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...

        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.
