Okay,my diet consist of NO food at all.. Nasty shakes that my dog and kids run away from because it smells funny.I literally cheated already...I haven't ate anything crazy but yes no food means nofood :biggrin:.. but i've been this way since birth no your telling me no food at all? most people lie about how great it was..i'm honest and it's hell..lol :lol2:

my surgey in on sept 29th. it only took a week to get approved.i hope my liver has less fat around it, i lost some weight, like 10 pounds in hmmma week i guess, i'll try harder on out but she i'm annoyed,lol

i hope everyone is havinga great day :tt1:

I'm not going to lie my protein shakes are delicious. I'm using Rice Milk because I cannot have regular milk or soy milk. However I have been eating sunflower seeds and tomatoes and cucumbers which are on my things i can eat list, not the seeds. The first few days of the diet were like a nasty divorce. The seperation was the hardest part. My surgery is the day before yours so good luck.

Really? Wow i'm excited for you.Yeah i can live off of Sunflower Seeds lol

A few seconds ago I just drank A slimast shake, its not that great. How are you feeling about your surgery? i'm nervous :biggrin:

I'm not nervous anymore however I will cry when the anesteiologist comes in. I hope the sunflower seeds dont make my liver fatty. I'm very excited. Did you doctor order special shakes for you? If so what kind are they? I'm on the ones from BetterMd. and they are really very good. The flavors are great.

I'm on the same diet and I was starving too.

I ended up having to email my doctor's office for some kind of alternative and was told that I can have half a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with tomato and lettuce, but no mayo.

I'm also allowed sugar free juice pops, sugar free jello any time and half a cup of cottage cheese once a day.

Hope this helps and good luck!

I am allowed 3 shakes a day and a Lean Cuisine type 300 cal for dinner for the first week. (300 cal meal is the key) If I crave crunchy, red bell peppers and celery. After that, it's shakes, sf Jello and popsicles for a week until surgery day. I am using Bariatric Advantage choc and van and it is pretty good.

I was on clear liquids only (broth and protein shakes) for TWO weeks pre op, then "full liquids" (cream soups, broths and shakes) for two weeks post op. Just remember, it could always be worse.

The liver shrinking diet preop is another one of those things that varies with doctors. I have no idea what you weight, but prior to surgery, I weighed 260 pounds and I carried a lot of that weight in my belly. I had no preop special diet and my surgery went very well.

I'd say do the best you can and don't stress about it.
