Pre op liver shrink

[shellbell1984 0]

Hi I'm new here scheduled for gastric bypass on 23rd April just wondering if anyone has done the same liver shrink as I'm on, interested in how you found it I'm on day 3 [emoji15]
1x pint of milk
8-10 60cal yoghurt a day
2litres of Water or sugar free squash

To one extent or another I think most of us have gone through a pre-op diet with the goal of shrinking our liver. While most of these diets are high Protein low carb (getting into ketosis is the quickest way to shink your liver). They also run the gammot. For me it was a reasonably manageable Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch, followed by a dinner with a lean protein as the star. Some folks have 100% liquid diets and there is even someone who was forced to drink nothing but skim milk for a month.

I am curious was that last line a typo or are you really being asked to eat squash?

Could it be a juice or even a soft drink like Squirt or 7up?

Ah, I should have guessed by the "h" in "yoghurt" that it was a British thing.

Hi, I’m also having gastric bypass ( RNY) on 23rd. I’m starting soft foods today. Looking forward to finally doing this. Getting excited about the way forward.

I'm on 2 shakes and a lean meat and veggie dinner for the remaining 3 weeks before my op (only shakes/liquids on the last day before). I had my first shake late this morning after they delivered (formulite which is stevia sweetened because asparatame and other sweeteners give me nasty headaches/migraine) and I felt really off and queasy for at least an hour afterwards. The taste (honeycomb) was ok, but I think it was mostly the texture that really didn't agree with me. I'm hoping my body adapts quickly as I have a lot of them I need to drink between now and surgery!!! I'll try one of the choc-hazelnuts with very warm Water tomorrow morning with my usual 2 shots of coffee as a mochacino and see if that works better. And will try some blended with half cold water and half ice too.
