All pain is gone except for a little superfishal tenderness like you would have from any incision after a week. Range of motion is pretty much back to normal. I can cough or sneeze without wincing.

Gas problems disippated yesterday. Digestive system feels normal now.

I have posted (with much anger LOL!) about my surgeon's seemingly super-restrictive 2 week clear liquid diet (zero carbs and zero protein). After a conversation with the nurse on Monday she allowed me to move cautiously to yougurt, cottage cheese, etc.

So, I began having just a few ounces...not even to the point of fullness. Just to get something in my system and it has made a TON of difference! It coincided with digestive system normalcy. Lethargy disappeared almost immediately. Anger about the diet is slowly disappearing (although I'm gonna have a "come to Jesus" with my surgeon when he gets back from vacation).

I plan to hit the treadmill with moderation today...just to break a sweat.

Funny thing about the diet and psychology: As soon as she gave me permission to have a little soft stuff I felt I could recommit to liquids somewhat. Meaning, I won't have soft stuff every meal. I'll still do Clear Liquids frequently. Just knowing I have control -- or an option -- makes all the difference for me.

All in all, life feels pretty darn back to normal today!

Funny you say that, i'm the same, I am 10 days post op & my nurse said as I heal v well & feel v settled I can try some mushies, in moderation, I immediately went back to the shakes & yoghurt after trying a bit of Pea & Ham soup!!

Must be psychological but i am airing on the side of caution xx

      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.
