Erin. Nicole. Happy your surgery is behind you and your at home on your way down! The first week is the roughest so walk, drink what u can .. Try hard for the Protein amounts ( it was awhile before I reached them ). Use a heating pad if the dioxide gas in uncomfortable.. Drink from a sippy cup for a few weeks.. And just enjoy it all... Energy level improves with days and weeks! Think positive!!

So it's been about 2 1/2 weeks since surgery. I have definitely had my ups and downs. I ended up with a horrible UTI when I came home from the hospital and that lasted for about a week. I am over the mashed potatoes, Beans, applesauce, and yogurt. I can't eat all 3 meals usually. I am having trouble getting all of my Protein down. It makes me sick to my stomach. BUT through all of that I am a happy girl who has lost just about 30 lbs, 29 officially. I have my first post op doctors appointment on Feb 3 and hopefully get the all clear to move to the next food level. The 2 oz fill me up, but I am more than ready to add some chicken and texture to my food options!! ;) I know each day gets better! Nobody said this was easy..... And I'm well aware of that but I didn't realize how much I relied on food. Not just fast food, but the snack crackers during the day! It's really pathetic how much I miss going out to eat...hahaha

It's good to hear from you. It will get better! Have you tried the pure Protein Shakes in a bottle? They are very light, not thick like the Protein you mix yourself. That is what got me through the first month. I like the frosty chocolate. I buy mine at Walmart.

      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.
