I am 8 days post-op and I can't have cottage cheese until October 20 and I can't have scrambled eggs until October 27. I'm not even to full liquids yet. (That starts on Saturday.)

Every plan is different though. I'd listen to your body and decide how to proceed from there (outside of the obvious of following your surgeon's plan...)

Good luck!

Well, nine days may be just a hair premature for your healing rate...listen to your body. Not everybody heals at the same speed. Have you been meeting your Protein goals? If not, that would contribute to slower healing of the wound on the stomach, and cause it to ache/hurt more when you fill it. So I think I might just cool it on the solids for 3-4 more days and then try again.

I'm 14 days post-op myself and I'm tolerating mushy foods pretty well now, I can eat 1/4 cup at meals with no real ill effects (except that the sensation of fullness comes on faster and is harder for me to feel coming, still). Also, when you try again, make sure you are chewing it until it's basically almost a liquid in your mouth before you swallow it. Will make it MUCH easier on your stomach, to work on it.

Don't mistake the rumbling for hunger, I've read that pretty much everybody gets that...it's not hunger. It can be a combination of acid in your stomach and gas. I actually get a lot of rumbling after I eat. The stomach is being retrained, since it's radically changed now. And also, you are probably going to have food on your mind for a little while, I know I did...it's a "mourning" process for your old lifestyle and eating habits, I think. About 4-5 days out, I was kind of obsessing about what I would like to eat. I also credit being on a liquid-only diet for so long with some of that :) But now that I can have some soft foods and I can actually chew again, those thoughts don't plague me so much anymore. I really don't feel anything like the traditional symptoms of "hunger" anymore. Hope it lasts a long time, it's super helpful with this low-calorie diet.

Had my sleeve on sept 28th....feel great... But just seems like I'm hungry a lot!!

      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.
