l_mahnesmith,

My surgery date is September 8th. My surgeon only required one week of the liver shrinking diet (thank goodness) and I started that today, in the middle of a holiday. To combat the headaches and overall tired feeling, try bouillion (spelling) cubes dissolved in water. Don't ask me why they work but they do. I forgot mine today and I am not feeling my best. But in the end it will all be worth this particular period. Hopefully someone else will chime in with how they managed through this part. I need the motivation too.

Good luck and let us know how you are doing. You are almost there!
Pat

I just do the Swanson's low sodium chicken broth taste very good maybe give that a try. I have all the basics here now sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello, water, gatorade, propel so very well set to go. Also my surgeon told me if I couldnt keep full on just liquids I could havd 3oz of fish 1 cup of veggies and 1 cup of salad with 2 tbsp fat free salad dressing hope this helps talk to ya again soon keep me updated on your progress. and good luck!!!
