Thank you so much:)

Alwazla8 My aunt was struggling A lot during her liquid diet. I mean I can’t lie it was really hard. But in my head I just told myself that it was only for a short time. Plus the fear of not being able to get the surgery helped me to not eat. Lol I hope your liver shrinks and you have a wonderful successful surgery.

I didn’t have a liquid pre diet just a liver shrinking diet of high Protein low carb. I wasn’t very strict and cheated on my diet probably 5 of the 14 days. I would be good lose 4 pounds and be discouraged and then cheat. I was good the last 4 days before surgery and was really worried my surgeon would start surgery and then stop because my liver was still large. My surgeon doesn’t care if you lose weight on the diet as long as your liver shrinks. Well I didn’t need to worry because my liver did shrink and he was able to do the surgery.

I have many days now I wish I would have cheated because I am so hungry omg. But today started my liquid only diet and I am SO over all these damn Protein Shakes ugh! I can't wait until Tuesday even tho I know I will still be on all these liquids:( Come on April 30th I can't wait for mushies.

Soft Proteins, yes.

I used my own recipe.

2 eggs
15oz part skim ricotta
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1tsp ground garlic
1tsp black pepper
Dash of basil
1tsp Italian seasoning
1tsp salt

Mix all these well.

Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons into each spot on a mini muffin baking pan that you’ve sprayed with Pam.

Sprinkle a touch of reduced fat mozzarella on top of each.

Bake 20 minutes at 375.

I’m thinking of making a bariatric cooking/recipe blog. I love cooking and being inventive and really want to stay within my approved foods. So it may be neat!

I can finally participate!!!!

I made some low-fat ricotta bites and they are ahhhmazing!

Also- I made so many, because I’m bringing some to my surgery buddy to try!

I love chicken pad Thai so much, but I haven't had it in months. I used to eat a full order in a sitting at least once a week. Last night i asked if they could replace the rice noodles with bean sprouts and ate 1/4th of an order (about 1 cup). My husband's full order is included for comparison. It was amazing!

Thanks, good to know. Will check Medisafe out.

My dietician does not recommend flintstones, vitamin patches, or the Vitamin kreurig thing. She recommend the Bariatric Advantage chewable and then 2 cal chews- i take the BA solo with Iron and then 2 hours later a cal chew and then a few hours later another chew. She said your body won't obsorb the Calcium if you take right after the pill. After having the sleeve I developed a horrible texture issue and couldn't do the chews. They were like a super thick flintstone and made me gag

Wow once I had horrible gas pains and I felt like I was dying but i just dealt with it since I wasn’t able to do nothing. But man I wonder if the gas pain from surgery will be anything like what I experienced before. Thankful it was only once. Fit.4.Me I hope you feel better soon

@labgoddess I can’t figure out how to quote/reply directly in mobile (very new to the forums and also not a whiz at technology 😂). That’s basically how I feel too!! But I’ve done 9 days on liquid now, so right now I’m just ready for it to be done and not have to do any more waiting! I’ve gotten all my prescriptions and I’ve stocked up on Protein Powder and Jello for when I get home after the procedure but still a little nervous! Can’t believe it’s only a few days away now.

Good luck with your surgery!
