I'm a longtime lurker to this forum., but this is the first time I have posted. I mainly want to say thank you to all the veterans (I'm sure you know who you are). who have shared their advice and tips., wth others. I've absorbed it all and I believe thats is playing a large part of why I feel so good. Granted I am also still in hospital and medicated. But I've been walking, walking today. Around the hallway. Tomorrow I will start drinking. Hoping my luck hold up. No questions from me today. Just a big giant THANK YOU!!! Before I turn in for the night

Great News! Take it slowly. Ramp up to the Protein and Fluid goals. If you need help with getting Protein into things like applesauce, Soup or yogurt try GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder. 1 tablespoon has 30g protein and 98 cals. I still use Premium protein (Choc and vanilla) premade drinks from costco. 30g 160 cals. Couldn't have kept my protein high without these 2 products. Best Wishes!!

      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.
