I had my surgery on 10/5 and the doc wants me on liquids until 10/19. I fix food for the kids or even if they fix and eat it I want it. I think this is what is called head hunger. How do you turn it off. It seems all i think about is food. Its all around and cant get away from it.

If I am on liquids can I add fruit to the shakes? Just looked at the and they look good. Oh and yes I am drinking Protein, broyh, sf Jello and sf popsicles.

Head hunger is a hard one. You have to find the best way for you. I just remind myself how I got here. I know I don't want to go back to tthe way I was, so I try to find something else to do or eat. It is hard when you are in liquids. But it does get easier. I don't think fruit is ok yet, but check with your Dr. Take a walk or exercise when the head hunger hits. Your nutritionist would be an excellent resource or search this forum. There are tons of ideas here. Good luck!

      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.
