I'm almost 2weeks post op & I'm supposed to be on a purree / soft food diet but i literally have to force myself to eat, its horrible. I could drink Water alll day and not eat anything and be fine with it. One thing that does concern me is that all i crave / want are limes and hotsause. Any suggestions?

I too did not like food right after surgery, I had to set a alarm to remind myself to eat. That will pass... I love your craving Limes and hot sauce:) I probably would not use either one of them at this point but further down the road I'm sure you can. Lots of strange feelings, cravings etc. happen after surgery. I stuck to what my surgeon wanted me to eat and I got thru it. I got ALL my Protein and Water in daily that was my main goal until I was on regular food. Talk to your surgeon or nutritionist.

I stick to three meals a day plus Protein even if I can eat just a few ounces. For me I just want to stay in a good meal mode...but some days it's hard.

I agree with doodle. I would hold off on the strong acid of lines and hot sauce. However I love having lime I. My Water and I have read it is good for you. You might try a little in your water to see.

As for cravings - I can't get enough Asian food, and seem to be able to tolerate spicer things.

I craved salsa after having the sweet taste of shakes for so long. I pureed it in damn near everything. Spice doesn't bother me, but I know some can't tolerate it.

I find it weird how we crave certain things after surgery. Mine was anything mint and BBQ Sauce. 2 things I really didn't care for before surgery. I've gotten over the mint but I still use BBQ sauce.

      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.
