So, I am 12 days out of surgery and for me in a week of full liquids which started last Friday. The first week I did great for all my fluids in and by the end of it I could eat a cup of broth, without a problem. Then week 2 started and while I struggled the first day to get my Protein in the next 3 I was able to 60 or above without too much trouble, in fact on day 10 from surgery day I got 600 calories in! Then comes yesterday, day 11 and I can't eat ANYTHING! I tried a Protein Shake couldn't finish but a 4th of it and I felt sick, I tried unflavored protein in a smooth Soup got two bits in and felt sick, I tried a greek yogurt bar, which i had been anle to eat all of a few days ago, got a 4th into it and same thing. Everything hurt going down and made me nauseous. End result is after walking yesterday I had a net calories of 28 and only 20 grams of protein. I feel exhausted and frustrated! What am I doing wrong? Do I force it down even though it might make me ill? Is it ok for some days to not be a protein success? I don't want my body to eat my muscle! I just feel like a failure for not doing my one post op job and exhausted from trying so hard to no avail!

      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.
