It's day 8 of liver shrinking diet

Last week was absolutely awful, but this week is so amazing. I had no idea how I was going to stop the cravings and control myself, but I went through the sugar withdrawals and I'm on the other side. I feel like I have more energy, I'm happier, I'm more alert and less foggy headed. I feel great. Tell me, do I feel like this after bypass too?

It is okay!
This is a lifestyle change forever. It's not going to be easy and I believe in order for it to stick, we have to gradually change. I think if I could have lost weight alone, I wouldn't need this surgery in the first place. So I'm weak. But this surgery will make me stronger. So don't beat yourself up for falling. Just get back up and keep your eyes on the prize :)

Day two. Did great until 8pm. Had a pb and j :-(


Girl you gotta keep your eye on the prize. This surgery is a tool, but if you can't keep yourself from reaching for what hurts you, the surgery won't work. The first few days by the end of the day I was so hungry, I just went to sleep instead of cheating.

You're on the liver shrinking diet? My dr told me to have 4 oz of lean meat so I've been eating chicken

you're so lucky! Yes I'm on the liver shrinking diet but only 4 shakes a day, veggies, and clear broth, SF Jello.

Everybody's surgeon is different when it comes to the preop.

I'm ending day 5 and will be on day 6 of my 21 day (3 week) liquid diet. Which only consists of, 3-4 Protein shakes a day, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello, Water (with crystal light as well, broth, Gatorade G2 or Powerade zero.
