Hello all! My surgery was 6/27, and I was put on solids a week sooner than planned due to severe nausea that pills wouldn't touch. It helped tremendously. I have no pain when eating, only sometimes a slight discomfort once it hits my stomach when I'm full. I only eat eggs, chicken, tuna, some cooked veggies, and only tonight had shrimp. I'm worried that I don't get enough Protein in during the day. I can only eat about 4 or 5 bites before being full, anymore makes me past the point. I don't drink Water afterwards for an hour at least, and I've been working a lot harder to get water in during the day. Has anyone had this issue or worry a month out?

My surgery was a week before yours and I am experimenting with more solid foods. Pretty much everything and anything I eat is Protein in order to hit that goal. I also continue to drink a Protein Shake a day. With the amount of food I can eat I don't see any other way to do it.

I suggest that you drop the cooked veggies at this point - focus on protein. Many folks, including myself, find that chili is a great soft food. I have made both an italian turkey chili and a tex-mex turkey and bean chili. Both are protein rich yet tasty. I found the recipes on Pinterest but would be happy to get you the links.

Another thing i did this weekend was to make my own version of P3 Protein packs. The commercial version has a mixture of Proteins (cheese, meat nuts) but are very expensive for the amount/quality of food. It is easy to do yourself and provides me with another way to get protein in snack form.

How often are you eating? My nutritionist has me eating every 3 hours or so during the day.

      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.
