I have heard about people using coconut oil but did not know how I would react so I am also curious how we would use it.

I also have a bunch of do terra I'd like to use to if anybody has any suggestions on how to use it with our new diet and lifestyle.

@@Cutwater I also cook with coconut oil. I was advised that after surgery I should limit how much I use. My nutritionist doesn't want me to have more than 10g of fat per meal.

I use coconut oil all the time and have had no issues with it. I use olive oil for cold purposes and coconut for hot cooking. I am almost 6 months out and I have only had one stall that lasted 4 weeks, besides that I average 4 lbs a week weight loss and so the use of these oils has not hurt anything for me. Your body will tell you if you can tolerate it.

I'm 19 months out and I love coconut oil! I use a little it to pop my evening popcorn it gives it a really good flavor. Just keep it in moderation, as with any fats, and you should be fine.

      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.
