I had mine on 4/15. I'm the same way. There's days where I can't stomach anything just because I'm not hungry at all. I hear it takes a few months to get the "hunger pains" back

It's very normal. I wasn't hungry for about 3/4 months. Then my appetite return about 4 1/2 months but it wasn't like I can eat a whole lot. I can eat more now at 11 months post up but I never eat to the point that I'm in pain or full to max. I keep my self at a limit amount of food. Example 1 cup of rice or less 1/2 cup of Beans, and 1/4 meat or sometimes 1 cup of beans,and 1/2 cup rice, and 1/4 or a little more meat. salad 1-2 cups with meat on top. Takes me a while to drink a large drink. I can gulp down Water but I can't fit 8oz in one setting.

My surgery anniversary (1 year) is coming up this Wednesday. I have no hunger pains and I still have to force myself to eat the recommended daily Protein. Blessing or curse? Not sure.

I was about 3 or 4 months out before I actually could eat a variety of things and get my Protein in and was a little interested in food. So you are TOTALY normal :-D Even a year out I don't get actual hungry often and it's odd and almost unrecognizable when I do feel hungry lol It takes me a minute to realize what's going on :-)

The first week after surgery, I felt I was hungry. Was eating three meals and never felt full. This week (2) I have to force myself to eat something to get Protein in. So weird to NOT be hungry! Never thought that would happen to me! LOL

      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.
