I am 2 weeks out and I can get in about 1.5 oz of Protein and that's it.I have Breakfast, lunch and dinner and snack(which is my dairy.)I am taking it day by day and just listening to my body something I never did before.It is going to take time.

I am not trying to make myself full..I am simply looking for a sign for my body to say STOP.. :( I am sorry if I somehow misspoke.. I am trying to follow my Dr's instructions so everything goes smooth..I really dont know otherwise. If I knew how stop eating when I was comfortably unfull I would have never needed surgery..I only wanted to compare what everyone else is eating or drinking that is new to this..I thought that's what this whole thing was about..Sorry

Trust what your body tells you. The biggest problem i have run into is that everyone’s body is different. I'm 6'1 and started at 410#, you have a much smaller body. Even if we weighed the same amount, my stomach sleeve would be longer than yours. So i might be able to eat 4 oz of Soup and not have an issue, where 4 oz might make you very uncomfortable. So cut back an once and try that for a day or two and see how you feel. It is really trial and error.

Don’t get down on yourself it will just make things worse.

We are all going through the same thing. It will get better.

      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...

        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.
