Yes seatleslew stay the course it will get better. What are you mixing
It with? I put instant decaf coffee in mine. Are you allowed any greens or broth while on it? I've read so many different people are allowed different things. Im only permitted the opti shakes water and sugar free jelly. I have 14 days left of this diet then I have my surgery RNY. So you got this you can do it! Just one shake at a time. Should you happen to slip dont beat yourself up about it just get right back to the next shake meal. Good luck :-) Val

@ Valerle congrats your almost their how long are you doing it in total and I can't remember are you doing shakes?
@ seattleslew I know what you mean I have little ones 3 who are 5 and under and big kids that make trying the preop difficult. That is why I am doing the low carb thinking it would be better then the shakes but it is the same, hang in there, how many weeks are you doing it?
@ rodemom969 thanks I am trying today waking up was not so good but getting through the day is working out now to finish dinner and see how I do tonight.

Thanks Tara. That is true here it would only be done through day surgery. I know my coordinator said that if I choose to travel the next day I have to stop every hour so I don't developed a blood clot. We are about 5.5 hours from the location so stopping every hour isn't that much to add on to our trip. Thanks for reminding me about how its done here.

Ending day 1 of the pre-op on a positive note it wasn't a bad day even though I did come in under calories and just over the min. protein intake!

@ Valerle mine is 4 weeks, that is 28 days and now 27 left!!! @ RJ's I think it hasn't hit yet I have been watching my carbs for a while and eating only 40-50 grams daily is the same plan I used when I had gestational diabetes less then 2 years ago. So I am hoping my body remembers!!! Thanks guys for your support

My children they are all over the place!! -
I do not have any clear liquids and was given the choice to do the shakes or my own meals. I have to keep my carb count down to between 40-50 each day. On that note I did by several low sodium broth because they were on sale at Kroger this week, I got chicken, beef, and veggie stocked up on them for the first few days of surgery. Their other Soups are on sale too in case anyone was thinking ahead ! bobmarge how long are you doing your preop diet?

Wow I am so sorry to hear this. Trust me I understand your frustration. Often times our system reactive instead of proactive to most things. It's seems logical to approve a person for weight loos in order to prevent the person from other issues such as diabetes and heart conditions which are more costly then just performing the WLS. I hope you do not go into debit but I know how important it is to get this done.

Anyone else starting the liver shrinking diet? What's on the menu for this weekend?
-

Thanks Betty_s, when do you start your pre-op diet? I will look at some of these recipes and see which one works out in carb portion.

Hi, I am new here and scheduled to have my lap band procedure on May 3! I am excited and very nervous all at the same time. I was looking to see how my insurance would cover me but they were insistent on waiting a year. Once I realized that it would take months to appeal and be approved (in a year I would be covered anyways) I decided I needed it done while I am already off work and have the time to start these lifestyle changes. So I have chosen to go aboard and the staff has been very helpful to me so far and made this decision very conformable. In addition, my local doctor has been positive about my follow-up and fills! I start the living shrinking portion on Saturday and will do 4 weeks of this diet. It seemed excessive but I read there is an assumption of your liver based on your BMI, mine is really high!!! I am looking forward to meeting new people in this journey!!!
-
That is good, I finally just switched to an insurance that even offers it because my insurance that I have had for the past 15 years does not. Even still with switching it would be waiting another year and I need help now! We could be band buddies since we are so close in dates!!!

My date is May 3 and I start my liver shrinking diet on Saturday. I am doing 4 weeks worth of it and its different then what I have read from the rest so far. I have to count my carbs and eat more Protein. I can do the shakes too but they have to be within a certain carb limit. The only starch that I can have are from low start veggies and fruits and then flexseed bread or muffin. I have never eaten flexseed anyone use it before which recipes have you used it with?
