Finally discharged from the hospital and home. Man it feels good to sit on my own couch. The staff at the hospital was super no complaints and everything went really well. Sipped my first liquid loretab, not too bad. Wishing everything goes as well for everyone else.

That's wonderful' date=' did she say why you didn't have to do liquids first? Im just curious[/quote']

She said I have done well enough with Clear Liquids that she feels I am fine to go right to soft foods. I haven't had any nausea or vomiting so just stomach seems to be tolerating things well. So, of course, I grabbed a Decaf iced coffee with cream on my way home from my appt and I've been so nauseated ever since! Ugh!

They told me to do it in my belly and showed me how in the hospital. Every doctor is different. Is it Lovenox they gave you?

Awww, try it again in a few weeks, it'll treat your stomach better, I believe that. How did it make you feel? Im on liquid, I'm scared to start the Protein shakes...but I'm going to follow the directions, hope you feel better.

I got my diet progression today too. Going from clears to Protein Shakes, yogurt, and Soup. I'm fine with the soup but the other two went straight through. I'm sure it will get interesting soon.

      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.
