I am week two post op. So far, it's hell. I'm having such a hard time getting in Protein, let alone any food. I'm definitely feeling exhausted from lack of food. I am in the full liquid stage. Pulease help me out and let me know what worked for you. Any secretes? So far organic Tomato Soup with unflavored Protein power is all I can do that doesn't make me nauseated.

vanilla premier Protein pre made shakes worked for me it had to be very cold i would put it in the freezer 20 min before drinking. as far as getting Water in i would mix it with apple or grape juice no sugar added. it definetley made getting my Fluid intake alot easier. it does get easier every passing day.

I had a hard time breathing - make sure to get an incentive spermoter! It will make sure you are using your lungs and don't accumulate Fluid in your lungs. I did and ended up in the ER.

Good luck!

Sip, sip, and sip some more. I used my cap from the medicine bottle to drink 30ml every 15 minutes and then increased the frequency after a couple of days.

      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.
