Surgery 3 weeks ago my doctor allows us patients to advance a stage so I had Beans swrimp with a little melted cheese but I think just the swrimp would be enough I'm so full...I'm still learning

Of course I chew a lot I added the bean because eating only 3 swrimp for dinner I'm afraid to faint

I had surgery about 3 weeks ago and I am still adjusting to the portions of food . So don't feel alone in this .

If you feel weak, add Protein shakes between meals if your doctor allows that. You are going to feel to weak the first month but I don't think you'll faint. To me, that seems like a lot of food for 3 weeks out.

I always "over portion" on accident. Like looking at three shrimp and being like ... No way will this be enough. Then after 2 I'm like "omg no more food!!!"

We will get there :)

Most other stuff I try to measure out. I generally eat 1/2 cup or 4 oz for each meal. Rarely can go over that. 8 oz Protein shake takes me about 45 - 60 mins to complete.

I'm 4 weeks out and think that the amount on your plate is fine... at least for my plan. I'm on soft foods and my plan calls for 2 one-half cup servings per meal. I can't do it. Not even close. I'm learning to listen to my body. That's a hard thing to do!

      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.
