Eating a lot of Soups and salads. I made a tofu kimchi cabbage spicy Soup. My salads are grilled chicken with veggies and low fat oil and vinegar. For Breakfast it is usually coffee with Protein Powder sugar free and fat free flavored Creamer. For a snack I have a Protein Bar.< /p>

With my anti-gall stone pill and Nexium pill I eat 2 bites of cottage cheese. Per surgeon I need to take with dairy.

Breakfast is Protein shake

Morning snack: eggs with canned ham, Rotel (canned diced tomatoes/green chilis), tiny bit of cheese. (I made a batch and portioned out a few days worth)

Lunch: Deli ham, 1 slice provolone

Afternoon snack: Ground beef with Rotel and taco seasoning

Dinner: probably left over Rotisserie chicken and broccoli

Earlier in the week DH and I went to Outback. I had the Ahi-Tuna appetizer and mixed veggies (broccoli, snow peas, carrots.) I stole 2 of his croutons and nibbled on them.

During a snow day this week I had an Avocado baked with an egg in it. Didn't care for the taste. But it went down fine.

Last Friday I made Shrimp Alfredo with Linguine. I use low-carb Pasta. I had a few shrimp, 3 noodles and some broccoli.

I like egg salad or chicken salad. I mix the salad using Hellman's light mayo and fat free yogurt to keep the fat grams down. I add a tiny bit of Gulden's mustard to the egg salad. I just cannot stand fat free mayo. I also only like Hellman's.

I have had chicken breast but it has to be pretty moist or it is tough to get down. Rotisserie tends to be good for that. It is harder to not get grilled breast to be too "dry".

I have had crackers a few times over the last week. At most I will have 2 club crackers at a time with either the deli meat or the egg salad/chicken salad.

I had salmon a few weeks ago. I have some tilapia in the freezer that I will eat some of this weekend. I had some fresh fruit this past week- strawberries, blue berries, orange wedge. I avoided the apple as it had peels on and was finely diced so no way to avoid the peels.

I have not ventured into trying lettuce or raw veggies yet.

I was on soft foods at that point....chicken salad, Soups with Protein powder added, eggs, cottage cheese, crab salad, cooked veggies (cauliflower, spinach, brussel sprouts, carrots, artichokes, green Beans, etc), refried Beans, cheese, tuna fish, hamburger, ham, pork loin, BBQ ribs, brisket, turkey sausage, Greek yogurt, hummus, fish, and Protein shakes.

I ate Protein and veggies 80% of the time, but had some fruit like mangos, pears, apples, peaches, and bananas. It took a little longer before I could eat berries (because of the seeds)

My NUT said no raw veggies Til 3 months and no carbs breads and stuff til 5-6 months and no Tomato sauce! I'm wondering at what point can I have Protein Bars and fruits? I use fruit in my shakes but haven't had raw yet. Everything I've eaten has been fine, never been sick yet. I haven't branched out much besides chicken, fish and eggs.

      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.
