I had my hiatal hernia repaired as well. I had pain when drinking for the first two weeks, then it just kept getting better, til one day around 3-4 weeks I realized it was gone! Hang in there. It'll go away. If it doesn't start improving, ask Bout it.

When you say regular food what do you mean , how many bites can you take.

I just don't have the courage to chew and swallow something that may possible hurt me or cause me to have a meet and great with the toilet lol

I saw my dr last Tuesday & he gave me the green light for reg food...so far i haven't found anything I can't eat yet, I just had some roast beef, potato & baby carrot. I can eat about 1/2 cup total when I get that " full" feeling. I haven't had ANY nausea except for waking up from surgery.

      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.
