Oh so that's what restriction is! O_O So for the first 2 weeks I didn't have a problem with anything. Could take my Vitamins, drink Water, Protein Shakes (the ones that didn't taste nasty to me), soft foods, etc. Nothing made me sick or feel bad. Until now. :(. First a little egg got stuck and I had to throw up. Then, taking this Calcium pill that's the size of my head had me bent over the trash can in my kitchen. I'm going to get chewable calcium first thing in the morning!

Make sure you check with your nut about gummy Vitamins. Mine said I can't have them .

Mine as well. I stick to chewables. I take a chewable Multivitamin (Walmart brand), Caltrate Plus chewable, CVS brand chewable C and B12, a liquid D3, and a Vitamelt that has Biotin and C for my hair and nails. I take everything twice a day, 12 hours apart.

I have a question. Do any of you sleep on your side? If you do, when you wake up do you get pains in your side? Just curious because I can't seem to sleep on my side with out that pain.

I sleep on my side. It's the only way I can sleep. I don't always have the side pain but some days (like yesterday) it was in pain all day long. On days like that I just place a pillow under my left/or right side and I'm able to sleep with no problem.

I can, but I have a huge body pillow that I hug. It took almost two full weeks for me to get back on my side. Without the pillow several incisions pull and hurt.

      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.
