#BirdDog reacted to KristenLe in Pre-op 2 Week Liquid Diet
Instead of trying the liquid diet (which the goal is to shrink your liver for surgery) - why don't you eat how you will need to post-op (once healed). Do a high Protein, low carb diet. No Cookies, soda, Pasta, etc. That will better prepare you for living with your sleeve and it's healthy. With the liquid diet - every time you have carbs/sugars - your body goes back to square one. It's like detoxing every day. I think if you start to eliminate carbs now - but eat healthy (not just liquids) you'll be in great shape and ready to handle the 2 week pre-op. There's no need to torture yourself by doing only liquids now. Good luck!

#BirdDog got a reaction from onedeterminedchick in Protein! Protein! Banana Cream Shakes
Found an empty shelf at my Walmart. People must be liking this flavor. Did get some caramel ones. Waiting for them to chill, need something other than chocolate.< /p>

#BirdDog reacted to Terri160 in What did you eat today?
That sounds like so much to me. It took me over an hr to drink my 11 oz shake today. Did you feel like this five days out?

#BirdDog got a reaction from Inner Surfer Girl in I have my failed my pre-op liquid Diet. Terrified I won't be able to do surgery
5 days till your surgery, I'd let my surgeon know. Most only want 2 weeks of a strict liquid diet. 7 weeks seems awful long.
