Liver reduction diet question



Recommended Posts

My dr does a 2 week pre op diet. 2 Meal Replacement shakes a day. 1 dairy snsck-Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. 2-3 cups vegetables and 3-4 ounces lean Protein, that can be split into 2 meals if desired.

At the surgery class I think they said 1 hard boiled egg counts as 1 oz Protein. Does this sound right? I bought a 2-pack of eggs at wawa this morning and it was 3 oz total.

Thanks.

In terms of grams of Protein, 1 large egg is the same 7 gm of Protein as 1 oz of lean meat.



Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Next question-spinach. Do I measure by volume? Pack it into a measuring cup? Can I measure by weight?

Since it is 2-3 cups of vegetables then you would measure by volume.

Thanks. I got smart. The package said a serving size was 2 cups and had 2 servings. I was able to use the food scale to get half and not make more dirty dishes!

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
