I second the benefiber. I put it in my crystal light Water and nextar Protein and i dont even taste it. I have also been spending my days pinning recipes and its making me hungry even though im full. But im pinning them to make them when i can eat real foods again and find ways to make them healthier.

Had Surgery 10/21. Hopefully going home in a few hours. Pain is still bad, and no gas yet?? Weird. Eating Jello, broth, and Water. Ugh. Not loving life right now.

Today is post op day 13. I was going to wait until next week at my post op appointment to weigh myself but I was curious. Day of surgery 10/10 weight was 243. Today's weight is 226. I know I should be happy but I guess it just scared me a little to lose 17 lbs in 13 days. My stomach is still swollen and strangely I came on my cycle again within 2 weeks. I guess my body is adjusting to what has happened. Hope everyone else is having a good day.

Just got back from post op appointment and cleared for blended food! I don't think I could take anymore sweet stuff. It grosses me out. Before surgery I loved crystal light, now I can' t stand it. Will this change?

I feel for you Chelle. Im home now but not comfortable. Feeling nauseous and dizzy. Im definitely getting all my Water in and following my nuts plan but geez....Im certainly not one of these post op patients who come home feeling amazing. I keep trying to remember what other members on here have said. "it will get better". I sure hope so

MadisonMolly is right, everyone is different regarding going back to work.. I work construction and am out for 8 weeks at a minimum...

Week 3 check in for me, I'm down 20 pounds finally.. I had a 5 day stretch where I didn't lose a pound, slightly frustrating.. Hope everyone is doing well...

I've had a stretch of 2 days no weight change and then 3! days of gaining. I have been following the plan to the letter and I know this shall pass eventually. Just a bit frustrating. On the plus side, I have lost an inch in my waist, hips and bust.

I just had an ah-ha about why I'm gaining weight. It must be because I was told to stop taking a diruretic pill that I've taken for almost 15 years.

Hi everyone! Had my surgery done 10/22 @10AM. I did great during surgery I was told, but recovery is very rough. Lots of gas, just barely farted for the first time about 10 mins ago. Pain is bad & I can't sleep much. I am sched to go home in about 5 hours but I'm going to ask my doc to let me stay 1 more night. I just know I won't get to rest at home. I have a 7 y/o son & a 3 y/o daughter.

      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.
