Recommended Posts

How much broth could you eat about a week out? I feel like I could eat a whole cup :/ did he cut off enough?

Have you tried to drink a cup? Everyone's sleeve is a different size...just like their stomachs were before. I have a feeling if you tried to drink a whole cup, you probably couldn't handle it. I am 4 weeks out and can't drink that much at one time.

I had the same feeling 5 days post. Be careful though I have now realized that it's not so much the quantity of food I wanted...it was the taste. Good luck! ^_^

LOL @ "did he cut of enough?"

I am 2.5 weeks out and I feel the same way. I can definitely drink more than 1/2 cup at a time (although for some reason I still have trouble remembering to get all my Water in), I can take normal drinks, not sips, and don't get any kind of full feeling. I have not tried to push to far cause I don't want to cause issues but I often wonder if he took enough too or if I won't ever feel the restriction. People say that once we move to solid foods then we should feel it so I am hoping that is true.

I can eat half a normal sized can of Soup in one go.. and at a fair pace, too. I am 13 days out. I think the ability to scoff comes in fits and starts. You'll be cool :)

      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.
