Any suggestions or tips for the liver shrinking diet. I will be on two shakes a day, one meal of lean meat veggie salad and one high Protein lean snack. Any shake recipes etc would be greatly appreciated. Anyone use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury protein?

Just follow the plan and it should work. I know mine did but I didn't get an option to eat anything it was all liquid for two weeks.

i tried a new shake recipe daily on my all liquid preop diet. recipes were found by googling bariatric Protein shakes. My favorite is:

Raspberry Dream

8-12 ozs Mootopia or fat free milk/almond/soy milk

1 scoop unjury vanilla Protein powder

1 tsp of seedless, fat free, raspberry preserves

1-2 tsp Torani raspberry sugar free syrup

Delicious!!

Consider yourself lucky that you get to chew at least once a day.

I am stuck on day 2 of my pre-op liquid diet and I have had nothing but headaches. 72 grams of Protein intake which is great, but for some reason, nothing but headaches here..........which I can chew, even it is just an olive.

I start my 2 week diet on Jan 5..I have 4 protein shakes a day plus sf popsicles..jello..yogurt..low sodium soups/broth..and I get unlimited veggies. My surgeon says they added the veggies because patients missed the "chewing". I am going this week for my supplies

I was on a similar diet but only for one week. I used the unjury vanilla and chocolate splendor, I added PB2 to the chocolate one (yum!) and I used Premiere Protein vanilla and chocolate cut with 4oz of skim milk. Pre op they seemed to thick and sweet and even a few weeks post op I was cutting them with skim milk. Now I can drink them no problem with nothing added.

I had marinated some chicken breasts in light Italian dressing and grilled them up and then cut them into 3oz servings to have for my dinner with a salad. I could also have a piece of fruit if I wanted so some nights when I was hungry I had an apple.

So my pre op diet was not bad at all. I lost 9lbs so I was happy!!

Good luck on your journey!!!

Lucky!! I'm on 2 weeks all liquid diet. 3 protein shakes a day. I would kill for a meal!
