Anyone who has had RNY in the last week or two mind sharing a day in the life of what you're eating and drinking, including amounts and times you're consuming them? I ask because I don't think I'm getting in enough food, Water or Protein and need to try something soon.

I have a trick to get in fluids and Protein when you don't feel like it. It worked for me so maybe it will help someone else!

I have a timer that I purchased on Amazon that clips on to my bra and every 30 minutes it vibrates. I have a thermos with a Protein shake in it and a thermos/water bottle with Water or tea or flavored water, etc. in it and I switch between them every 30 minutes. Each time I take a drink I'm getting roughly one ounce of liquid and if you stick to it you will get your daily needs met. It usually feels natural to me instead of how I feel when I look at a ginormous Protein Shake and try to drink it all at once..daunting! Then when it's time to add in other foods, I just skip two buzzes which would be an hour, eat a few ounces, skip two more buzzes which is another hour and then go back to switching back and forth.

Good luck!

Niiiiice! I like that idea! I'd be happy to successfully get the Water and Protein in at this point.... Thanks for the suggestion!

      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...

        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.
