Its funny how different our programs are.

We didnt have to do the post op liquid diet... but we can't have eggs or dry meat etc.

Maybe you can make chicken and corn soup....

1 tin Creamed corn

1 litre chicken stock

Chinese 5 spice

... boil. .. then wisk 1 egg and swirl the stock and slowly add the egg whilst swirling.

Its satisfying and quite thin.

I find that funny too. The more I read here the more I see how different all of our programs have been for the same surgery. I was on liquids for two weeks, then soft foods for two weeks, then regular foods

I think a lot of it immediately post-op is more of a "head-hunger" than a real hunger. You're mentally used to eating and the thought or smell of food entices those receptors that have been programmed for years.

I actually found I was "head-hungry" for the first week after surgery, but by week two, I had to actually remind myself to eat because the "hunger" was diminishing. Even now almost 3 weeks post-op I don't typically get that hungry feeling all that often. I notice it more if I'm around a food that used to be a crutch for me...

My program was fairly different than a lot on here as well. We weren't required to be liquid only post-op. We were taught to eat what my team called the "slip-n-slide funnel diet" meaning if it was a food that could easily slide through a funnel it was OK to try. Just introduce things slowly and give your body time to heal.

      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.
