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?

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

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

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!

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
