I am 9 months post op but at 2 weeks post op I was all liquids. I drank Protein drinks that were recommended to me by my nutritionist, I tried to drink Water, even hot Water (it was very soothing to my stomach. I drank diet cranberry juice, hot chicken broth or beef broth. Week 3 I added yogurt to the mix. Dannon fit and light yogurt. Hope this helps.

I'm at the 1 1/2 week mark post op. Today it's sugar free Swiss miss with Unjury powder blended fine with ice and almond milk. Very good! I've been surviving on Sugar free puddings, jellos, broths, laughing cow cheese triangles, sf Popsicles that sort of thing. I made the family spaghetti and garlic bread tonight. It smelled fantastic but I had a tablespoon of sauce and was satisfied. It was the strangest thing!! ;) I didn't feel cheated because it's my choice, I can sure as hell keep pushing it until I can eat near what I did or not. So it's my decision not to and that makes it easier for me.

From the booklet my surgeon has it says day 15 post op is Stage 2-pureed Diet.

That's everything from stage 1, of course, and add:

  • Pureed chicken or turkey with no skin
  • Pureed fish (water-packed tuna)
  • These soft fish should be mashed very fine with a fork: Haddock, tilapia, cod and salmon
  • Pureed tofu
  • 2 scrambled egg whites or 1/4 cup of egg substitute
  • Pureed fat-free refried Beans
  • Cream Soups made with fat free milk
  • 1% cottage cheese
  • Ricotta cheese
  • no sugar added applesauce
  • mashed banana
  • mashed potato
  • canned vegetables pureed
  • pureed acorn or butternut squash
  • pureed sweet potato
  • cream of wheat
  • oatmeal

Eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pureed Proteins four to five times a day and 1/4 cup of the fruit, vegetables, and starches two times a day

GNC carry some great Protein Drinks with 40grams .. Try Isopure apple melon! Or their Quest Protein Bars are good also... No nuts but nut powders.. I am 6 weeks out and am eating most things.. Healthy and 1/2 cup max

      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.
