Hello everyone, this is my first time on this site. Well have been reading but first time telling my story. I had my surgery on May 4th and so far so good. But I have noticed every commerical on TV is food. I do not have a hunger pain but I feel it is in my head and I want to eat everything and no full well I can not. I an on liquid diet until the 18th and so far I have done SF popsicles, SF Water ice, Tomato Soup, and of course Protein Shake. I am lookking for different ideas - anyone?

You know, I'm not much of a TV watcher but the time window when I do have it on is from 6 to 8 pm and the

almost non-stop food commercials amazed me. I know they are gunning for the dinner market but wow.

BTW, my program said no Tomato products until you move to full food due to the acid. I've read so many people

here who are eating tomato Soup so I went ahead and tried it yesterday. It seemed to have agreed with me just

fine yesterday but today, having it a second time, I think it did irritate me quiet a bit. Aside from little issues I've

not have too many big problems but tonight I feel like something is stuck in my throat so I'm backing off of the

tomato soup. It's too bad because it was wonderful. Made me feel like I was actually having real food. But I can

wait another couple of weeks to be safe.

I was sleeved on the 3rd and I had Cream of Mushroom Soup today and it was great. Also, have cream of chicken and golden mushroom Soups in the cupboard for the next few days. What about yogurt? Last week I was eating a lot of chicken broth and before surgery I had reserved some liquid from a previous batch of my beef stew and it was great to have post-op, just liquid, no pieces.

I was thinking about yougurt but what is good that does not have pieces and low in fat and no sugar?

I'm worried that I will feel light headed and weak after my surgery because of not eating enough calories. My body is so used to having a few thousand calories per day then all of a sudden I will only we consuming 500-700 a day. Does your body feel like it's going into shock, weak, light headed, dizzy, etc. Or because your tummy is so much smaller you don't feel that way. ??

You know after you get in your Protein in you will feel really good. Yesterday, the first thing I did when I got up was my Protein shake and I felt great. Today I got a shower first with no Protein Shake and I feel weak...so I learned my lesson :)

      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.
