I start my 2 weeks liver shrink diet today praying that I have enough willpower to get through it

OMG, that's funny cause today is my first day of this! My doctor basically told me to cut out carbs and to basically follow an Atkins or Paleo diet. So far just had a Protein drink for Breakfast, a Protein Bar as a snack. Probably a chicken breast for lunch with broccoli.

So does this mean we are having surgery on the same day!? The 27th?

Hi Learningtolive, Yessss the 27th is my surgery date as well, I'm nervous excited all kinds of feeling, I have a pacific list of foods I can and can't eat

OMG! I'm having my surgery on the 27th too! Good luck to you both. I start my liquid diet on Saturday though. Can't wait. Ugh!

. Thanks! Good luck to you

I started today, but have to do it for 3 weeks!

I'm not allowed to eat any carbs or meat- just green veg and salad. HEEELLLPPPP!!!

first few days are a challenge. By day four I think it's pretty routine. Keep focused!

Thanks dhrguru

This is exciting for everyone! I'm glad I'm on an Atkins diet.... but the side effects are terrible and likely similar to what others may experience. I have nausea bad! And I'm very tired and mentally cannot think straight. It's like I have a thought and it takes a few minutes to truly form. No carbs is hard. But all liquid would be even worse so I'm thinking of you guys!!

I start mine tomorrow. 3 weeks of 20 grams carbs. I've been on 80 grams for 2 months and that was hard! Well, it is what it is!

Mine is today too and I wish you both the very best and most positive juju I can send your way as you venture through your surgeries today too! Good luck and see you both on the other side!!!!!

I started my 2 week all liquid diet 2 days ago. it's rough!!! I'm hoping it becomes routine and gets easier very soon! lol. Good luck to all! Judging by the date I'm guessing you guys have all had your surgery! Congratulations and good luck! Mine is Feb 10th!

I just finished day 3 of the liver shrinking diet. 17 to go. I'm restricted to 20 grams of carbs per day. It's tough for me as I don't like to eat a lot of meat and I don't like fish. I have canned chicken and tuna. I like stir fry so I can get lots of veggies that way and of course salads. Can't have whole grains, beans, milk, or fruit. 20 grams is brutal. I'm just doing one day at a time and trying to keep busy.

I start mine on Tuesday. Protein shake for breakfast, another for lunch, along with either a half cup of sugar free pudding or applesauce. Afternoon snack of 4oz of light yogurt. Dinner is 2oz of chicken or turkey and 1 cup of veggies.

Sugar free popsicles are allowed to help get your 64oz of liquids. I am really nervous that I'll be soo hungry. I am going to stick to it. I want no chance of them rescheduling the surgery if I don't!!

My liver shrink diet is for 1 week so feeling lucky. 3oz lean meat and 1 fruit (half banana, small apple, or cup melon) for breakfast, 1 string cheese and fruit for snack, 2oz lean meat and cup cooked veggie (preferably green leafy) or 2 cup raw veggies for lunch, 8 oz high protein milk or 6 oz Greek non-fat yogurt for snack, and 2oz lean meat and half cup cooked or 1 cup raw veggies for dinner. Dill pickles, sugar free popsicles are freebies. Day before surgery will be all liquids and magnesium citrate. I don't care for dill pickles but had to break and go get some to stop my tummy from rumbling at bedtime. Can't wait for 2/2. Good luck to everyone.

It's hard, isn't it!?! I feel for everyone! Seems like there are many different pre op diets out there. I'm on day 6 now, and those shakes are wearing thin, but I keep on drinking them down. There are several of us that are going between 5-10 I noticed, and in various stages of the LIVER diet ????!! We can do it!! We will do it!! We have worked out kabooty's off for this and we deserve it YAAAAY!!

Lol!! I guess I just needed to get on my little soap box, I'm not usually "miss cheerleader" ha ha ha!!!!

We're gonna get through this guys. And we're gonna look GOOOOOOD ????!!
