liver shrinking diet: day 2



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody :) I was just curious if anyone else has the same problem I do. I'm on day 2 (of 14) of the liver shrinking diet, and I get 4 shakes and 1 lean cuisine a day. I'm hungry but whatever, I'm not tempted to cheat or anything. My problem is that I can't convince myself to drink enough liquids! I was told to make sure I get 7-8 glasses of Water or crystal light (or something similar) a day, and now day 2 is almost over.. I've probably had 2 bottles of water. I'm actually slightly sick too, with a sore throat and some allergy issues. The thought of drinking is actually grossing me out.. I try to just chug a bit of water or crystal light but I swear it's worse than taking NyQuil (ew!). So I was just curious if anyone else has/had this issue, and what you did to overcome it? Other than forcing myself I just don't see it happening. Thanks! :)

Haha, thanks! I'm glad to know I'm not crazy here. My mom keeps yelling at me ("Plug your nose and chug!") but it's tough to even do that, lol. I did realize that when I eat dinner in the evening I can drink a lot more (last night I had 2 big glasses of crystal light in one sitting) and I think that's just a behavioral habit I'm going to have to break. Ahhh the little things you notice! Lol. Good luck to you! Surgery on July 6th?

Try adding the flavored packets to your Water. They also have these new flavored liquid called Mio. It doesn't taste bad. I can't stand drinking all that water either. But they really help. I am 9 months post op. And I hate drinking water also. Good luck to water drinking.

Thank you! I was actually talking to my dad about it today and he mentioned MiO.. I'm headign to Walmart in a bit for more shakes so I'll definitely try it. Have you had the peach mango one? That looks like it might be good. That and the sweet tea, lol. Congrats @ 9 months post-op! Good luck to you too :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
