Recommended Posts

I was December 20th also. I am feeling much better. Had terrible pain in and around my largest incision. I have lost 27 pounds since I came home from hospital, but most of that is Water from all the IV. Was hungry yesterday for he first time. Usually I have to make myself have a drink

Or shake, but a couple times yesterday I was hungry. I actually had a cheese stick. It was so good!!! No problems!!!

Wow Andrew! Sounds likes you're doing great!

I was also sleeved on 12/20. I moved to mushie food over the weekend. I think I took it a little too fast and today I've gone back to mostly liquids, yogurt and mashed potatoes.

I find it hard to take all my meds during the day. I've been cutting them in half, and now it seems like double the amount (lol, it is)! I'm nervous about taking a WHOLE pill!

I'm seeing my doctor this Thursday for the first time. His office and my husband's work schedule were hard to coordinate for an appointment any sooner.

So far - so good.

Googie, what type of shakes? I haven't been given any instructions for Protein shakes - don't even know what products are available....curious to know.

Be well!

      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.
