Hi all, I am 8 days post-op. surgery date was 2/5/14. And I will tell you holy crap I was in a lot of pain for the first 7 days. Although the pain hasn't magically stopped now it feels more like I did an extreme Ab workout. Is any one else sick of liquid Protein Shakes? I know I am! I used to think yuck apple sauce now I am thinking yum apple sauce and I am going to eat the crap out of it. Lol. It may sound strange, but I miss chewing. I am finally starting to be able to take a little bigger then just a sip (thank goodness) I have found it really hard not to gulp my Water especially when I am really thirsty. I also have found it difficult to quench my thirst because I get so full after just a few sips.

Regarding protein: I use the premiere Protein Shakes. They have 30 gm of Protein in them and they taste pretty good. The best part is they are pre-made. Also I have unflavored Protein Powder and I add it into Soups. I know every program is different but on the liquid stage I am allowed soups with no lumps or chunks. So I got Tomato bisque Soup, roasted pepper with tomato bisque and Summer squash soup. I also know that there is Isopure liquid drinks that you can get to achieve your protein needs. Milk if you can tolerate it. Some post op diets allow Jello mine dose not but that is an option with unflavored protein powder. Hope this helps.

      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.
