I'm on the soft foods stage. I'm about 5 weeks out and all I want is Cookies or candy. I've been doing the sugar free hard candy but I'm wondering what else to do because I don't want to regress once I can eat more things. I also have about 1/4 cup of fruit a day which helps sometimes.

how are you doing with the Protein and fluids?

I find when I have met my Protein goals I don't really crave other food, I am too stuffed.

when I am just having a plain old hungry day I eat things that fill me up, like lima Beans or a refried bean dish.

I do like the Vitamin Water zeros which scratch the itch for a sweet drink.

That could have something to do with because today I had no appetite until around 4pm. I was just thirsty so I drunk lots of Water. When I did get hungry I wanted Cookies and sweets.

it's important to eat your Protein throughout the day at least a little at a time, or drink it whether you feel like it or not.

@beautyifullu2114... Maybe try some flavored yogurt, many of them have tons of sugar so may take some reading of labels to find one that works... While sugary yogurt isn't ideal, probably better than a cookie... Cookies are a trigger food for me, no way could I ever just have one... Maybe have plain Greek yogurt and add your own fruit or cinnamon or a little vanilla extract ( check the label on that one first)... There something from trader's Joe agave Syrup, it's sweet, I don't know the nutritional info. Try to look for natural sweet things rather than artificial processed foods...

How long after surgery until you got on soft foods? I'm 5 or 6 days post op and want soft foods bad.

@sean72977... No one here should answer that because each surgeon has different and specific directions... I have a packet for post-op eating to follow, did you get one?

If,so it details all the eating step by step...

I'm sorry I didn't mean it in a discouraging way but from reading these forums and comparing it to the direction I'll be following there's just way too much variety... I know the struggle is real

I still eat Kroger's carbmaster yogurts when I'm craving sweets. I love their cinnamon bun, black forest cake and key lime pie flavors. They use artificial sweeteners to keep them low carb, but other than that they taste great and have 60 calories, 9 grams Protein and like 4 carbs per container.

I'd stop eating the candy even if it is sugar free stuff. You're still mentally pushing candy and bad foods as things you want to eat, and you have to start thinking of healthy foods now to replace the crappy cravings. If you can start using other foods (like the yogurt) early on, it will help down the road when you're eating regular foods - you won't automatically think "Oh, I'll eat some candy..." Instead it will be "oh, I want some yogurt" ;)

That's true too! Because I see some people are at different stages then myself.

That's true! Because I definitely don't want this journey to be in vain!

      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.
