Back again! So my regular diet starts in exact one week. Monday will be 5 weeks after that I'm allowed a regular diet. The problem is I feel like I don't know what to eat. Right now for my soft foods phase I eat a lot of eggs, soft shredded chicken I has the chili mashed potatoes and yeah I basically don't know what to do once I leave this phase. Honestly sometimes I feel like I can eat anything as long as I chew it really well and take small bites and time but I'm honestly confused I'm honestly scared like what do I eat now. I know I have a week well a little over a week but a week can fly fast.

I stick with the basics, focus on Protein, Vitamins and Water. So I eat mostly: bacon,egg,cheese in morning, rotisserie chicken for lunch/dinner, nuts/soft veggies/cheese for Snacks. Even when I was on the full diet it took me a long time to ease into what I'm eating now. My stomach took a long time to heal so it took a lot of trial and error to find what works best for me. And even now and under a year I'm still slowly trying to add things in. I don't eat veggies with hard rinds, I can't do beef very well, things are just different. But it's fun to try, little bites here and there see how it goes. Okay good

I did a google search for menu plans and it helped. I'm doing low carb so lots of meats (the fish here sucks or I'd do more fish) cheeses and nuts. I am forcing myself to cook more so I don't get bored and don't fall into old habits. It took me a while to get in the groove so at your stage I was eating chicken. Lots of chicken lol
Do you like to cook?

I skip the cooking right now due to summer heat, I just go buy a rotisserie chicken and carve 4-6oz off and devour. I LOVE chicken...and I eat the skin...tee hee!!!! To me it tastes so amazing and is all Protein AND it's soft meat so easy to digest.

So, in the beginning I ate so boring because I was scared and cooking was just too much for the little I could eat. But I used this for example.

Now that I'm three months out I use this.

      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.
