I was in terrible pain for 2 weeks after my surgery and was wondering what had I done to myself. Week 3 got a little better and by week 4 I felt really good. I am exactly 5 weeks today and I feel great and am down 33 pounds. Keep your head up. Take your pain meds and stay hydrated. Good Luck!

I'm almost 3 months out and just getting to the place where I can say I'm 100% glad I did this. I had major buyers remorse for a few weeks after. I promise it gets easier.

One day post op with buyers remorse. Nauseated.

That happened to me on day 6. I was home alone, only could handle Water and forcing Protein shakes down since I didn't want anything else. I broke down in tears and was like why did info this to myself? Thankfully it passed. It totally gets easier as each day passes. Keep your head up and just try to remember why you chose this path in the first place.

That happened to me yesterday. I'm two weeks post op and just had a bad day with pain. I broke down crying and feeling sorry for myself because I still can't stomach food. Today I feel 100% better. Some days are easy, some are hard. Just think where you will be in a year. That's my motivation. Skinny and healthy!

One day post op with buyers remorse. Nauseated.

Happened to me on day 2 post op. I cried and cried thinking I made the worse decision of my life. Coming home sucked too...wasn't till I was 2 weeks post op and I decided to weigh myself and I was down 29lbs. Seeing that made me feel better and honestly it gets better and easier everyday!

I think at one point or another we all have that moment. I am 4 weeks out and i went through it at 2 weeks at a family party everyone having a good time eating and all. And me with my Water. But it will get better trust us.

All of the post are true, my 2nd day I'm the hospital I was devastated! I cried to the nurse and another lady trying to help. Today I am absolutely overjoyed with the results. May 6th will be 6 months. I went from 1x to a small in that small amount of time.

I am just as guilty as everyone else. I am 7 days post op and trying to find my way. I'm on the full liquid stage and im just list and hoping I'm doing the right things. The stomach being as small as it is how does it hold the Fluid and the oat meal. I.basically eat 2 ounces of oatmeal every hour until like 2 o'clock and trashed the rest. I.started my Protein Shake as well and I'm trying to do my Water. But my stomach feels like its full and about to pop all the time

Get sugar free Hawaiian punch it helps with the Water

When I was a few days out water felt like lead in my stomach

May sure you get water in before anything else you don't want to get dehydrated trust me

      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.
