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!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
