I'm 4 days post op, and so far everything has been much better then my mind thought it up to be. The only surprise really is the battle between my mind and my stomach! It only happens when I smell food. My mind automatically says "you want that! You're hungry!" And my stomach says "nope! You're NOT hungry. I'm stuffed on Protein and other liquids!!" It's quite a difference. Before, if my brain said I was hungry, my stomach "made room" to eat what I was craving, or wanted. It's weird that I don't know what to do with these thoughts. Any suggestions?

I've been having the same struggle, I'm trying to get my mind to listen to my body. I may feel full but my head tells me it wants more z:-/ I'm hoping that with time my mind and stomach will get in sync

Once I was able to eat soft foods, head hunger was not as bad. I'm actually pretty much turned off by the thought of eating... It's not as pleasant because I am still learning when my stomach is full, and it usually comes quick!! So, food, at this stage, makes me pretty miserable.

      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.
