Lots of tiny sips....lots and lots and lots!!! I got a headache the first 2 days home and did a saline nasal rinse 2 days in a row. No more headache. I was also drinking A LOT of Water. I ate and drank nothing but Water, broth, and sugar free popsicles for 6 days. No Protein (at the requirement of my doctor). Listen to the doctor and your body and drink water!! I'm day 8 and back to work running a resort! I feel great with a little fatigue from limited calories, but it is totally worth it!!

I am on soft solid stage 1. Greek yogurt, fat free re fried Beans or Beans chewed really well, pudding, Protein shakes, scrambled eggs, cheese. I was told to try 1 new item per meal to make sure that my body can handle it. In 3-4 days I progress to soft solids stage 2, ground beef, lunch meat, chicken, cooked veggies. That is my life for the first month!! They said to take a small bite, chew really well and wait 1-4 minutes to make sure that your body is accepting the texture. It should take 15 mins to eat the few oz of food at each meal! Good luck on everything!!

I was burping on day 1 and passing gas on day 2, but I was doing lots of walking. I also slept sitting in a very elevated position until I could lay on my side. Gas was passed the best when I could lay flat with my knees as close to my chest as possible! I don't have any gas pain now and never had to use gas x, but it took about 1 week for the severe gas pain to subside with my band, and gas x was my bff. Both experiences were so different. Get better!! I hope this helps!!

I used a heating pad and the position you recommended and I had relief flowing in 5 minutes, life is much better. Did not know one could have so much gas from Drinking Water though.

So glad to hear you are feeling better!!! I forgot to mention that drinking hot liquids, broth, cider, hot tea, really helped any time I was feeling bloated. It sounds like you are in the right track!

      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.
