I had an easier time with warm liquids at first as well. I was on Clear Liquids for a week post op and it was difficult to get much down at first. Every day got better and by 7 days I was ready for full liquids and could drink cold Water, though still slowly. 3 weeks out now and it's much easier to drink more at one time. It gets better! I wouldn't worry about the scale you could be retaining Water or who knows what each of our bodies initial reactions mean!

Almost everyone gains Fluid weight in the hospital. We were warned in my pre-op class that 10 pounds was normal. I was lucky & only gained 5 but it took a week for that 5 pounds to come off.

      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.
