Topic: RE: Prep! Meals & Vitamins
I have one wee****il surgery. I am using Unjury protein I have every flavor I like the chocolate
splender (good hot) and the chicken soup. The unflavored comes in handy I make banana shakes with sf syrup and I can make beef soup with Wyler's beef granules. I also have Syntrax
Nectar in several flavors my favorite is fuzzy navel--it is my go to shake and starts my day.
I also replaced a meal or two a day before I started my diet so it would not be such a shock to my system and I felt like I was doing something to start the process. Gave me a chance to play
with my food LOL.

Topic: RE: Liquid Diet!
I started my liquid diet a week ago today one week left. It has not been too bad. I would love a
hamburger for some reason. I did't eat alot of them before??? I thought I would be starving--hungry but not starving. My doctor has us do 12 little shakes a day one about every hour. It consists of 4oz skim milk a half of scoop of protien powder.

I think I am to excited to be nervous yet. The nerves will probably hit once the liquid diet starts.

Topic: RE: Liquid Diet!
I started mine on Friday. It sucks. I am so glad I stopped drinking soda and caffeine about 2 weeks before... Time to get over the caffeine withdrawal really helped me.
Just to clarify... it is the low calorie and low carb combination that shrinks the liver quickly... not the liquids. Some Docs (Alvarez included) use liquids to prepare us for after the surgery... and it is a bit easier to stay low calorie and low carb when you have to stick to liquids.
You could eat real food and still shrink your liver, but this has the bonus of clearing you out (liquids in... liquids out!) and doing mental prep for post op.

Hello,
I have a meeting with my surgeon on Oct. 17 and hopefully will get my surgery date then. The last few days I have been stressing on everything that can go wrong. I'm not sure why. Good Luck on your surgery tomorrow.
