Trust me me and a lot of others felt the same way I'm 3.5 weeks out now and the first real food was pork tenderloin and up until then I questioned if they even did anything to me other than put holes. But a bite and a half of tenderloin and

I was done liquids and mushys don't do it but solids will show you.

I didn't feel the full effect until I started eating solid foods. Even now I can eat more squishy soft foods and don't feel much restriction... But when I eat solid I do. 6 months out today

I was sleeved Oct 1 and I have been on soft foods for a week. On the first day, the first thing I ate was some scrambled eggs. I took two bites and was immediately turned off. I didnt know what was going on, but now as I begin to eat more foods, I have learned that this feeling is a feeling of fullness. It wasnt until today that I actually felt that feeling of fullness. Like I just had a full meal. I had one salmon croquett, approx 2oz. and a quater cup of canned pineapple. Its going to take time for the swelling to go down and for your stomach to be able to handle the 3 to 4 oz of food later on... The sounds coming from your stomach is mostly air, making you gurgle...think of a garbage disposal. It takes a while for food to go down, you have to turn it on in order to work...

      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.
