Sept 11th surgery at mi doctor with Ortiz

I was told skim milk has too many carbs im on a low carb low fat high protein liver shrinking diet

Thanks for the tips..however I want to stick with the guidelines my surgeon gave me..so 4 shakes, sugar free jello, broth, popsicles it is

Me too!! Sept 11th here as well and already started my 3 week pre op shake diet....

I found something that helps...I make an 8oz cup of low sodium chicken broth or veggie broth and i add a scoop of beneprotein unflavoured whey protein isolate...gives me 6 grams protein in 120mls of liquid.. It mixes up soooo nice that my broth still looks like broth and i cant even taste the whey at all... If your using syntrax...try there medical unflavoured whey protein in some broth for a snack between shakes...add some herbs or spices...man oh man...gives me somthing dinner like and tastes salty versus sweet all the time.

Im on an all liquid pre op...i cant do lean and green

Tell me about it...im on a 3 week liquid shake diet for pre op... Bleh!!! Already bored and cranky from feeling hungry

Only 3 days out of 3 weeks...sigh...

Im 9/11 in TJ..at mi doctor

Im 9/11 too

Yah i was drinking those on a previous diet and i think they taste horrible..i hate the artificial sweetners..i can taste all the sweetners

God i feel like a bloated fish with being on all liquids..i swear you can hear the fluids swishing in my stomach as i walk

Today is day 1 of a 3week pre op liquid diet with Protein shakes, sugar free beverages and sugar free popsicles and ive failed already... i got through Breakfast shake and lunch=shake+chicken broth and then caved an hour later and ended up eating tequitos and a double chocolate muffin...How in the frig am i supposed to do a liquid diet for 3 weeks to shrink my liver? If it was slim fast plus regular juice i could do it...but I hate hate hate(gag) my Protein Shake powder..it tastes like koolaid thats chalky thats been overly sweetned...think Syntrax protein juice in strawberry kiwi..it is sooo disgustingly sweet...i hate it and i have a large tubb of it! How do you survive this? How does anyone? I feel so "empty" in my stomach all day...and how do you survive when you have a husband and child that eats anything in front of you and buys junkfood?

Me too..im sept 11 getting mine done in Mexico

Me too! Im sept 11 ..having mine done in Mexico..what about you?

Finally!! Someone with the same date as me..where will you be having surgery?

So i live in a fishing town where you can fish all year..its a staple up here in northern bc. What i would like to know is the amount of fish in oz we should be able to eat? Im hoping its a good protein source too cause salmon veggie soup is delicious!!
