I can definitely feel mine. My doctor and dietician told me to use my best judgement. I lost 30 pounds before my surgery and did not need to follow a pre op diet. I was told to get started with Protein drinks right away yet some people on here are strictly Clear Liquids. I am doing clears but already had one Protein shake today and will have another soon. I don't know when I will get to the mushy stage but won't do so before my follow-up on the 12th.

Ya. I an drinking liquids but since the gas pains I'm having it feels like I am swallowing big bulls when its just sips. I get a horrible pain my shoulder...but I think it just all leads back to the gas bubble. I'm having problems with hunger too...I'm not hungry but I feel like I should be eating something...drinking something I guess lol. ya I can't shower til Sunday and I will just have my mom take my bandages off. to make matters worse this might be tmi but I am on my period too so instead of tampons. I just resorted to page. my nurses were worried that u bled a lot but I told them no worries...just mother nature lmao. just keep walking around and start doing things urself. its a better healing time add faster too. best of luck to u!

Hi just thought it was a lil ironic I was banded on the 29th and I had my period!! I wanted 2 reschedule my surgery because of it!! Crazy!! I feel good pain and gas r 2 be expected but I'm burping and farting so that's half the battle. I want a cup if coffee more than anything else

Only Decaf at first, later on you can have caffeinated. The only toting is caffeinated makes you hungry. :)

what I do when I want coffee is put my Protein shakes in as a replacement for my dreamer and add some fake sugar. its so good and u are getting ur Protein in first thing too. it helps me a lot. I am having problems hurling but I've been farting too. sucks because I don't want to use my stomach muscles very often but it just feels good go release that. lol I actually freaked out my nurse cause she was like omg! I was like no worries haha. just the b***h every month lol thank God for loopy medicine :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
