How do you know what works for you? How do you feel?

Hi! I can see we both went to MaGee for surgery. I had Dr. McCloskey.

Anyway, if I am understanding you, it is a lot of trial and error. I took everything really slow at the beginning. I would try a bit or two of new foods and just wait. If I was OK, I'd have a little more. I can't cut my self off cold turkey with anything. So I weeded things out of my diet presurgery.

Anything in particular you are looking for guidance on?

Early on you have to measure what you eat. It is so hard to "feel" since the nerves were damaged during surgery. If you eat too much you know it. It gets really uncomfortable to the point you feel like your stitches are going to burst.

      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.
