Heather-ish reacted to Gettingsleeved07 in Anyone else find it difficult with liver shrinking diet with their surgeries?I drink 3 protein shakes a day. I’m doing chicken broth, popsicles. Jello, puddings. I didn’t know I could do cream of chicken so I’ll definitely buy some tomorrow. Thank you for the encouragement. I just hope it goes by fast -
Heather-ish got a reaction from Gettingsleeved07 in Anyone else find it difficult with liver shrinking diet with their surgeries?I went through the same thing. Unfortunately I cheated:( I hope you get through it. I bet if you wait till tomorrow maybe it gets better. Ideas....sf popsicles? Cream of chicken or mushroom soup? Those are more filling. Been doing powerade zero? Are you getting enough protein shakes?

I found it to be easier than I expected, but we'll see how tomorrow goes! We can do this!! Jow many calories are you taking in a day?

Heather-ish reacted to RachaelLou in Anyone else find it difficult with liver shrinking diet with their surgeries?I am pretty much all liquid with only those couple exceptions. My tummy grumbles a lot. The day before my liquid diet began I weighed 237 on the scale at my clinic. I’m down to 230.

Heather-ish reacted to DanaC84 in Anyone else find it difficult with liver shrinking diet with their surgeries?The pre op week and the week after are rough physically and mentally. I was so lethargic! I’m not going to lie, the mental struggle has been the hardest part for me. But with each tiny victory it DOES get easier. And you don’t have to think of it as NEVER being able to have pizza again. Once you get to maintenance I’m sure you can enjoy a slice (just not the whole pie!!! ?) Good luck to all of you. Your future healthy self is going to thank you and be so proud ?

Heather-ish got a reaction from DanaC84 in Anyone else find it difficult with liver shrinking diet with their surgeries?My pre op liquid diet has been painful. A total mental struggle! I’ll do good for a couple days then cheat. First cheat was bad on day 3, after that got better at coping but still have Small cheats. Not proud of it. I’m getting better and better but it’s hard. I’ve lost 11 pounds so far so I’m thinking my liver is shrinking. I have 4 days left of my diet and will be following to a T. I know my digestive system needs to be clear and calm for surgery.
What i I don’t get is why some people’s pre op diet is not liquid until 1 or 2 days before surgery. Urgggg. So weird my doctor chose the 14 day liquid diet when others offer one that is just low carb low fat till couple days before surgery.
oh yeah surgery March 25th
