I started the liquid shake, Soup and Jello diet and did not cheat for 5 days then I read more about shrinking the liver. What I was doing doing was not shrinking my liver to its best potential since milk and most Soups have a ton of carbs! I think most doctors want to get you in the "LIQUID MIND ZONE" which is great but it doesnt shrink your liver if your not careful. Now I am dropping the pds! READ READ READ labels!!! SO I started researching other ways to shrink the liver in conjunction with low carb high Protein shakes....see link: http://www.lifebridgehealth.org/sinaibody.cfm?id=2709 Wonderful info..however I also readthat 24-30 hrs prior to surgery try to go clear as much as you can to help empty the intestines and stomach. So mixing up my diet is dropping the pounds!! 1/2 c of egg beaters w/ 2 tsp of cheese, 1/4c tuna with 1 tsp light mayo/dill w 1 cheese slice or stick, 1/2c low fat cottage cheese, 5 slices of lean lunch meat(turkey, ham) has really kicked the diet up!! unjury makes a great chicken flavored soup too! I am getting banded on the 20th!!! I am excited and ready to tackle the post-op now!! If you think about it in phases its much easier. Phase 1 - shrink that liver, eat low carb, low fat, low sugar and high Proteins - this is for you during surgery!!! Phase 2 - eating for a new life!!!
