My 1st week of pre-op consisted of 3oz lean meat and 1/2 cup veggie and that is all besides 2 Protein Shakes and Water for the rest of the day. I don't think it will kill you to have a little yogurt, the doctor just watch the amount of carbs...the high Protein diet is used to shrink your liver for surgery, making it easier for the doctor to perform the surgery. As my dietician stated, "the pre-op diet is not just to torture us". LOL Good Luck with everything!

Nope...all "liquid" for me...plus stuff like sugar free pudding, Jello and carb control yogurts...my doc was pretty strict about the diets...the 2 week (10 days for me :-)....) wasn't as hard as i thought it was gonna be...the 2 week liquid after was harder than I thought...but it goes by pretty quick and post surgery your not exactly "chomping at the bit" to eat much anyway...

Good Luck!!!

surgery date: Oct 12, 11

I'm doing 2 shakes, 1 meal with lean meat and veggies,,1 snack consisting of serving of nuts, egg or low fat cheese (babybel or string cheese Snacks are good). My doctor told me losing a little weight is an added bonus but the diet was strictly to shrink the liver thats why I should stay away from carbs/sugar and high fat foods.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
