Anyone else find it difficult with liver shrinking diet with their surgeries?



Recommended Posts

I’m on day 7. I’m surprised I’ve made it this far. It does get easier than day 1 but still hard. I cheated a little but seems like I’m doing something right since I’ve lost 4 pounds. Hopefully I lose more next week. Next week I’m going for my pre surgical testing , Bariatric class and clearance. I can’t believe it’s only a week away.

I'm on day 5 of the pre op diet, and some days are easier than others. Yes, I think more Fluid helps, and also sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello. Im also allowed low carb Protein Shakes. I'm hungry all the time, too! We will persevere!

I agree some days are better. I have some of the sugar free pops but have not gotten any Jello yet, I may do that. What’s you favorite thing to eat on the diet so far?

My favorite thing on the diet so far is raw veggies, especially peppers! They're so crunchy and raw veggies seem to fill me up. Im allowed 2 cups of cooked, or 4 cups of raw veggies a day.

I am doing it with my mother and we hold each other accountable. We laugh about it because we think it is to much and always full. It has gotten old as of today. My mom has her surgery in two days. I do not have my date yet. I think it has made it easier for her because I am doing it with her. She has lost 12 lbs on it, myself I have lost 8. So no harm. I am continue to do this diet as long as possible because a ultrasound showed a lot of fatty tissue on my liver. I weighed 287 down to 279. I do however switch up the Protein like shrimp or scallops and fish. I love chicken but 2 weeks is to long for same old same. Keep it up! You can do it!

      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.
