I am 2 weeks post op and doing well on soft foods. I'm just curious, should I be eating 3 meals a day ? Right now I'm just eating when I get hungry, but I'm getting my Protein and liquids in with no prob.

I did not feel hunger post surgery. I was on Clear Liquids for 1 week, then full liquids for 2 more. When I went to full liquids, I had my shake in the morning then ate Soup at logical meal times to try and get a sense of normal. With the shake in the morning, I had soup 3 more times. I also was sipping Isopure all day. It made it easy to get the Protein in.

I'm on 5 small meals a day since I can't hold much more than that. Plus I get my Vitamins in that way. I don't always fit the 5 in a day but I try

I try to eat 5 times a day. Breakfast at about 7am, a snack at about 10am, lunch about noon, another snack at about 3pm and dinner about 6pm. I don't always get it in for one reason or another, but I cannot get sufficient Protein in without the Snacks.< /p>

Completely agree! Unless I end up with multiple Protein drinks I'm not finding it possible to do it on less than 5. Som edays I have 4 but that usually has a 26 g Protein shake in there.

      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.
