I'm on my full liquids. They have me start pureed week three. Always follow surgeons directions. Mine let me have cream of chicken Soup that's really thinned out with Water, sugar free Jello pudding and sugar free Popsicles. Just hold out a little longer!

I'm honestly not paying any attention to my calorie intake, I'm focusing on 40-60g of Protein and trying to get in more than 32oz of Water.

Sleeved June 7th 2016. I've been through the stalls, I just started the hair-loss at 5 month mark, thankfully I have a lot of hair so you really can't tell. The transition into even soft foods was a little rough but doable I think pea Soup was my saving grace. The first stalls had me in tears but this group really got me through it by letting me know their experiences, I felt, at that point, I was no longer alone

Sleeved 11/14 my third day out and to be honest I feel amazing besides the little gas pain I've been experiencing in my back and upper chest I'm just now able to drink the Protein shake and I've been moving around great no pain in surgery sites at all. The only thing I really struggled with right after surgeries was the different nausea medicine they tried to give me I threw up and even the nausea medication they prescribed me I threw I have learned to just suck it up and I'm getting threw it just fine walking around and back rubs lol help moving it around till it eventually comes out.

Sleeved 11/2. I'm getting about 100 grams of Protein in a day and over 80 ounces of Water. I've been walking around 2 1/2 miles a day on the treadmill. I started puréed foods 2 days ago. I haven't been nauseous at all. Thing are going good.

Just take it slow. Read instructions fully. Do what n.p or Dr. tell U. It's not as hard as some people make it. I had lots of sugar free popsicle. Different Vitamin waters and sugar free Gatorade so. Every 2 weeks the n.p. advanced me. If U have problems let them know. I'm 80 days post surgery.

I had surgery 10/10. Initially I felt fine with little pain. I went through the 10-day pre-op diet (Clear liquids, nothing greater than 5 Cal/serving, outside of the 1/2 stength gatorade). But I was weak. Surgar free Jello was my saving grace, thought I was eating gold.

I''m in week 3 (2 weeks post op) I was progressed to soft - thin cream of chicken and potato Soups were my best friends.

I am now on modified regular and doing well with the diet. One hiccough was the melon mix-up. The list said melon, so I went with my favorite fruit - watermelon. I had 2 bouts of explosive diarrhea, thought I had the flu. Next day it dawned on me that it could be the watermelon. I tried it again, smaller amount and had a bout of diarrhea within 30 min. I know now that watermelon is not for me yet.

I wish I had joined a support goup before surgery, but at least earlier than I did, as many questions arose and I felt foolish calling the doctor. But I know I shouldn't have.

I have only lost 1 lb in the last 3 weeks and it's making me crazy. My doctor says, don't worry about the weight, just stick to the plan and all will be well. But I am still worried sick that I'm doing something wrong.

I haven't exercised as much as I should have, as I felt weak. About 2 weeks ago, on Tuesday I woke up full of energy and have been moving a lot every since, but still no weight loss.

Any advice - I promise not to be so long-winded next time.

      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.
