I am on Day 8 and I got dizzy today and yesterday. Immediately drank protein shake slim fast and ate applesauce and yogurt.

Please keep posting how you are doing. I start mine on Monday. Two weeks on this. Nothing solid for me including yogurt or outage cheese.

Thank God someone posted about this.....I'm starting mine tomorrow for two wks and wanted to know some of the acceptable foods...I have my protein shaker and yogurt does it have to be any specific kind? I have Greek....don't really like the taste if the others. Can I do oatmeal I'm really concerned about liver issue

No carbs.. Oatmeal and apple sauce are carbs. Youll get a few carbs in shakes, but try to remember liver shrinkage is the goal. Youll get that with low carb and the high protein keeps you from being hungry. Good luck! Im sure you will do well.

My pre op diet includes 1/2 cup oatmeal, farina, or grits for breakfast with shake. i can also have unsweetened applesauce sugar free jello and sugar free pudding low fat low sugar yogurt. Not all hospitals and surgeons follow the same exact diet.

I've sooo been cheating:( one day im good and the next im not!

Im scheduled Wednesday

I've been good just wanna get it done and over with. taking forever to get the date been waiting a few months.

good luck .

But do you think ill be ok tho?

I hope I don't flat line or anything! Lol

Every doctor/clinic has it's own version of the pre-op diet. Mine was two protein shakes a day, plus one meal consisting of 4 ounces of a low fat meat (chicken or fish, for example) and a half cup of veggies. I was not hungy at all.
