My first day home after my surgery and it is a bit more challenging than I thought! I am not hungry at all but I have finally come to understand that I have an addiction to food. The minute my eye caught a piece of soda bread I instantly wanted to gab it. I have my eye on the prize but this is no quick fix, gonna take a lot f willpower and strength.

I agree with you,this surgery is not like we took a magic pill. Is not an easy journey but at least we are able to eat in small quantities now :) Congrats and a speedy recovery to you!

I think the first week, when you're trying to wrap your mind around having had surgery, is probably the toughest part.

Your tummy isn't happy at all; you're drinking liquids for two weeks; you're thinking when do I get to chew again?

The answer is -- soon. It's all going to be all right. You'll graduate to mushies (scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, etc.) and they're going to be pretty darn wonderful when you get there. I thought scrambled eggs tasted like heaven.

Hang in there. It'll get better. I promise and so do a whole lot of other folks on this site.

Best,

Carol

      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.
