Eating regular food = DIFFERENT STORY!



Recommended Posts

Right after surgery for the first week or so, while I was on liquids, I honestly thought the Dr did nothing to my stomach and I questioned if I'd ever feel restriction? The answer is YES. I can only eat a few bites and I'm really full. It's quite the difference!

How are you feeling overall, and how long has it been since your surgery? Any regrets?

I'm almost 3 weeks out. Started eating soft foods and deli meat etc... And it's night and day difference. I'm doing good. I still have a sore exit main incision and my abs are sore and have a bit of pain if I twist, but that's been the only thing uncomfortable was the incision pain. Drinking and swallowing got better each day.

If I eat too much on my spoon or too fast I get some "full" feeling at the bottom of my throat. Other than that, not bad. I've lost 18lbs since surgery Sept 10 and 65lbs total with preop.

      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.
