The first shake I made with almond milk made me gag, the second one today with skim milk is much easier to get down. I am getting and oz an hour and then Water in between. I did do a Popsicle this morning and will probably do another this afternoon and drinkable yogurt 1 oz.

Well I am not having that issue, but things I have read suggest trying things like popsicles and ice chips. They melt so u have to ingest in a certain amount of time. I pretty much started by setting myself on a timer. One ounce is three small sips jist about so if you set your timer on your phone or got an app for timing bites (what I used) then u could so a sip every 5 minutes. This should produce less discomfort and you could intake 4 oz an hour. In 12 hours that is 48 oz. that is what my doc said the minimum was. If u find it getting easier do one sip every 3 mintues or two minutes...i will say some prayers for you! Good luck!!!

I have a question, I had VSG on 7/8/13, initially loosing 38 lbs since 2 week pre op diet till week 3 post op then on week four I put on 4 lbs and they will not come off. I get about 70-90 Protein and around 600-800 calories. What am I doing wrong? I am disgusted and upset, going through thoughts of why did I even have the surgery. I know having VSG was the right thing to do since I was at 348 but know I am having difficulty with this. Can anyone help me get a better understanding of how this happened.

      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.
