Hello all,

Tomorrow I start my liver reduction shake diet. I'm nervously excited. My surgery is scheduled on the 18th. I'm so excited to start this journey!

My BMI was 38 on day of surgery. Had to do 10 day pre-op diet. Not going to tell you it isn't hard but you will get thru it. Just keep reminding yourself why you are doing it! Good luck

Just started today. Going to Dr Garcia next week. I did it in May for 5 days before finding out I was denied by insurance and it wasnt that bad. My local doctors diet was much more strict than garcias in that it was clear liquid only and one small salad with no dressing a day. Garcia allows protien shake and some veggies/lean meat

I'm going to Dr. Garcia also next week! My surgery will be on the 20th. They told me the same diet but because I have a fatty liver I am going to do only Protein shakes for a week and Clear liquids the day before.

What brand of shakes are people using that taste decent for their pre-op? I am using premier protein since it has 30gm of protein and is low in calories and sugar. Looking to see if there are better options out there. I get sleeved in November and start my liquid pre-op diet for 10 days on 10/31

Good luck mammabear from the Posey patch

@@vanzimme I'm required to use Bariatric fusion (protein powder) with low-fat milk. They're actually very good. I have been adding some sugar free flavorings or PB2 to them to change things up a bit - but I am on day 8 and still tolerating them.

My bmi is 39.5, I had to do 5 days high Protein, less than 30g of carbs and the day before surgery (today) Clear liquids only. But my liver measures in at 14 non fatty, so that may be why'd don't have to do an extensive diet
