So I'm 5 days out and I can't drink my whole Protein Shake. I drink maybe 2 ounces every 5 hours 2 or sometimes 3 xs a day. I also was advised to drink 64 oz of Water a day and I sip and sip but at the most maybe I get 18 oz a day in. As anyone had any trouble with this? I also get hunger pain but once I take my pain medicine it goes away. Is it just acid indegestion or is it actual hunger? I must say my family went to mcdonalds today and ate in front of me and I felt nooooo temptations. Plus the movie theater. popcorn and soda everywhere and I sipped on my water. Feel very proud of myself!

Having your family eat infront of you and smelling and seeing popcorn and you just sipping on your Water is awesome!!!! I am 10 days out and the drinking does get easier. Is there anyway you can thin out your Protein Shake? Maybe it would go down a little better and not feel so heavy. I wish you the very best!!!!!

I was the opposite , I could get down an entire shake ( muscle milk ) but not my Water. lasted a couple weeks but now I do pretty well, maybe 2 20oz bottle of water a day and at least one muscle milk.. sometimes 2. but I am eating chicken and salmon now so I dont worry too much about it.

I am awaiting my liquid vitamins now, looking forward to getting started on them. be sure to ask anything at all here, this place is great :)

Wow, I'm the opposite as well. I can drink a 16oz shake in 15 minutes but it takes 4 hrs to finish 20oz of plain Water.< /p>

      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...

        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.
