although i read everywhere on this site that says NOT to drink 30 min prior to eating and 30 min after...I finally called my surgeon to ask - as he never said that was a must for me - it's hard enough to even remember to eat something every few hours as I am just never hungry - but I still drink a little with my meals to help with the digestion. Surgeon says that's fine, he said mainly they use this rule to assist those people who are always hungry to keep their stomachs full longer. Since I'm not having any hunger issues - it's fine to sip with my meals. I only eat 3-4 oz of meat at my meals - so i know i'm not over eating and I can still finish 3-4 ozs of meat even when I drink - it's not taking up that much of valued real estate in there.

just wondered if anyone else out there drinks a bit when they eat?

I will usually take 2-3 sips of Water. One in the beginning, and a few at the end. Nothing more. I feel like my mouth gets dry if I don't. :-)

      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.
