4 weeks from today!!! i start my liquid diet in 2 weeks. im thinking about gradually easing into it this week and next 1 meal at a time so that by the time Nov. 4 rolls around it won't be so difficult. also beginning to wean myself off of coffee. i things to look forward to both before and after the 18th, brad paisley concert 10th row on the 15th, 2 hour massage on the 16th, keith urban concert in January to Celebrate the new me, my first ride on my best friend's Harley next spring, as well as going horseback riding when i hit my 100 lb loss. these are my guideposts along the way to mark my progress and things to keep me motivated. my acupuncturist always says good health is a journey, not a destination. every journey has mile markers. what are yours??

Wow those are great goals!.

As to the short term: I started high Protein, 800 calories per day on Friday. I stopped coffee and alcohol. Coffee because if I don't start now, I will be a bear after surgery. Alcohol because I wouldn't be able to eat ...and it was advised, to help liver shrinkage. After two weeks I go to full fluids, still high Protein, with the last week as clear fluids. Are you supplementing Vitamins yet? I have doubled mine after talking with my doc.

My goals are pretty simple but one I think is interesting is my husband and I plan on hiking the inca trail to Manchu Picchu next year.

      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.
