I really don't think BMI has anything to do with it. Mine was only 40. The rationale for liver reduction is to detox liver b/c evidence shows that detoxing liver decreases risks for all complications. I never heard of this.

I was sleeved on Tuesday the 4th and feeling pretty ok, aside from needing to practice how to sip without swallowing alot of air. Any tips on how to achieve this, because the gas pains are a killer.

I know from researching other programs that every program is different in terms of requirements and it's basically the Dr. preference.. For my program they have two separate pre op diets. BMI 39 and under = 3 day. BMI 40 or above does a 2 week diet. Nothing to eat or drink after 12 the night before surgery for both. I went through a center of excellence.

Sleeved on 2/4 and feeling really good. I have a hematoma above my large incision causing pain but otherwise good.No nausea or vomiting, sipping well. I am not hungry at all! I've been staying with my parents the last few days and they've been eating hoagies cheesesteaks, donoughts, etc and I'm not even interested. I haven't had a bowl movement but am passing gas. I'm down 16 lbs since I started my 3 day pre-diet on 2/1. I'm 5'9' starting weight was 252. This week is Clear liquids for me , so I've been drinking Propel, Water, tea with honey, Jello, and broth. I'm drinking The Original Protein XL shot 28 grams. It's really good. Next week will be full liquids like pudding, yogurt, Protein shakes, etc. I'm really excited!

Hey Julie.. I had a two night hospital stay (standard for my surgeon) but I left hospital able to have full liquids b/c I was tolerating clears. I have not lost one lb. I am 5'5 and went in at 240..... still 240 and I am bummed. What is this Original Protein XL shot you speak of? I am an advisor for a health and wellness company called Advocare and we sell Protein Shots and as an advisor I get a 40% discount so naturally I asked my surgeon's P.A if I could take the shots for added protein especially because it is low volume and packs a big punch and they did not seem too happy about that. They want me to get in my Proteins from food. I am going to ask again on Tuesday at my post op visit. How big is your hematoma? It may take a while for that to resorb but if that is your biggest complication that is a blessing :)

No surgery needed for my hematoma just have to watch it. I woke up today with minimum to no pain.

Belladonna, I found it through a few forums. They sell it at Walgreen. Eventually Protein will be through food intake but during first two weeks I'm drinking these. 28 grams of protein. Also has potassium and magnesium and a few other nutrients. It's clear amd Im tolerating them well and getting my requirements in. 234 today!

I was sleeved on jan 29. I'm DYING for some real food too. I'm being told it's way dangerous to do it though.

My surgery was 1/30 and I feel like i am ready for something more than just drinking so I know the feeling. Even if its just mashed potatos or cottage cheese something that you can chew. And it is very dangerous to just start eating without our Doctors supervision I would hate to go back into surgery because is did my own thing. I see my doctor thursday so hoping for the next phase of the meal plans. one great thing is I am down 20 lbs since my pre-op diet and surgery :)

      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.
