So I had my surgery this past Thursday I'm hungry and want to try soft foods but can't untill day 8, just curious.. When can you feel like you can eat real food again? As much as I love Protein Shakes and applesauce, a sandwhich sounds like heaven..

I had no interest in food for the first 3 weeks or so. I was on liquids for 2 weeks post-op and then 2 weeks of soft foods like applesauce. Don't jump the gun. Your stomach needs time to heal and for the swelling to go down.

Hey! I'm also banded thursday!

I'm not hungry, but of course, counting the days until i can finally have at least a bite of my favorite Subway lmao

My diet changed today and some extra thing has been added! Like Soups, cream of wheat etc. Im not very confortable with the canned Soups, as we are not eating enough, and this being artificial foods annoys me. I just emailed my Nut to see if i can cook a homemade chicken Soup..

Hang in there! Soon you will be eating everything :)

      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.
