Anyone else find it difficult with liver shrinking diet with their surgeries?

I’m on day 7. I’m surprised I’ve made it this far. It does get easier than day 1 but still hard. I cheated a little but seems like I’m doing something right since I’ve lost 4 pounds. Hopefully I lose more next week. Next week I’m going for my pre surgical testing , Bariatric class and clearance. I can’t believe it’s only a week away.

Congratulations on the weight loss! If nothing else that can be a motivator!

I'm on day 5 of the pre op diet, and some days are easier than others. Yes, I think more Fluid helps, and also sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello. Im also allowed low carb Protein Shakes. I'm hungry all the time, too! We will persevere!

I agree some days are better. I have some of the sugar free pops but have not gotten any Jello yet, I may do that. What’s you favorite thing to eat on the diet so far?

My favorite thing on the diet so far is raw veggies, especially peppers! They're so crunchy and raw veggies seem to fill me up. Im allowed 2 cups of cooked, or 4 cups of raw veggies a day.

I am doing it with my mother and we hold each other accountable. We laugh about it because we think it is to much and always full. It has gotten old as of today. My mom has her surgery in two days. I do not have my date yet. I think it has made it easier for her because I am doing it with her. She has lost 12 lbs on it, myself I have lost 8. So no harm. I am continue to do this diet as long as possible because a ultrasound showed a lot of fatty tissue on my liver. I weighed 287 down to 279. I do however switch up the Protein like shrimp or scallops and fish. I love chicken but 2 weeks is to long for same old same. Keep it up! You can do it!
