Today I am 3 weeks out and have started my soft stage. I have had 2 20oz Protein Shakes with low fat milk. Then I have had 1/4 cottage cheese twice, 1oz tuna with mayo, 2 sugar free Popsicles, and 1/4 applesauce, and 1 wedge laughing cow cheese,.

After 3 weeks of like nothing, this seems like overload. Is it?

Are you logging that into a tracker? It should give you a good idea as to whether that is the right amount. Did your Dr. give you guidelines to follow?

I think this matches my soft foods intake at the beginning and then I stopped Protein Shakes and upped the ounces

Every doctor has different diet guidelines for his post-op patients. The most important thing to look at is are you staying below your recommended calories per day. And are you matching your percentages of Protein and carbs to the guidelines?

      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.
