My surgery date has been set... 03/28/2017!!! I am not nervous about the procedure itself, I am more nervous about the pre-op diet (Liver Shrink Diet). I want to know some ideas around making drinking these shakes more appealing. I am on 2 shakes a day and a small meal (4 oz meat, steam veggies). I need help. I am on Day 2 of the diet, by choice since it actually begins on 03/14/2017.

HELP!!!

I am on day 1 of the diet and these shakes are not doing for me either! Every sip I take I chase it with water. Still is a terrible after taste to me.

I called the nutritionist and she suggested I use a water flavor packet (peach mango). I did, and it was MUCH better.

Hi there! I'm in Memphis also... just wanted to say hey and good luck -- you are getting close. I am 4/17. Dr Wegner is doing mine

Dr. Wegner did my surgery too 11/8, he was great. I absolutely hate the protein shakes now. Drink all you can now! Best of luck!

Hi everyone ! I noticed you guys live in Memphis ! I do as well ! Dr.Wegner is also doing my surgery ! My date is set for March 21st ... this is my first ever surgery ! I'm excited but nervous [emoji51]

Try different shakes. I used premier protein shakes during pre op and a bit of post op. They were horrible but I suffered through them as they were recommended by my nutritionist. I saw a post here that recommended Muscle Milk. I tried it and it was so much better. It is thinner and you can't taste as much of that distinct protein flavor.

Others say they do better blending their own shakes.

Experiment. There are lots of products on the market.

Good luck
