cheryl1952 0 Posted September 18, 2008 I can't wait until October. I need some help before surgery. Can someone give me some kind of ideas of Breakfast, lunch, dinner etc for shrink the liver dieting. I want to make sure I do everything right because once they get in there I sure don't want to have to do it again. What Protein drinks are the best? Are we suppose to start drinking those before surgery or afterwards? Cheryl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magaines 0 Posted September 18, 2008 Congratulations. I'm sure by now you are out of surgery, possibly on your way home by now. Prayers are with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magaines 0 Posted September 18, 2008 My doc had me on an Atkins type diet for the week before my surgery to make sure there wasn't fatty liver problems. He said to eat a lot of Protein, and stay away from the carbs, rice, potatoes, bread, etc. I tried several Protein Shakes then too to see which ones I preferred.

PATCHELTON 0 Posted September 18, 2008 Congratulations to all of you about to be banded and good luck on your journey. As for shrinking the liver, some surgeons will put you on a pre-op liquid diet--protein shakes, broth, cream Soups, sugar/fat free popsicles, sugar/fat free Jello and the like was what I did for 3 weeks (supposed to be 2 but I caught a cold and my surgery was bumped back a week). I could have a small amount of lean Protein until 4 days before surgery, and I had either 2 hard boiled eggs or 2 unbreaded chicken tenders (frozen from Costco), both with just salt and pepper. I lost 25 lbs on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
