I know everyone is different, but I am just trying to get an idea of how many weeks after surgery did you guys start eating solids? :)

I was supposed to start solid foods today (at one month post-op) but I anticipated a bit and had some things earlier this week--I have had no problems at all with any food since the surgery (other than not liking some things--canned chicken, ugh). I've been eating fish, eggs, cheese . . . had a little hamburger but probably will wait a while before trying that again. I'm having a hard time getting all the Protein I need without relying on shakes, but I'm trying to do that.

Week 5 I started solids... lean ground turkey party, cheese sticks, very lean hamburger patty, chicken. Not very adventurous with trying new things though. I agree, couldn't do the canned chicken!!! 😳 And it doesn't help I'm sure that I eat no fish.

I'm still in phase one 3 weeks out, and am supposed to be able to go to mush soft foods next week and I cannot wait!! I'm dying for something different! I have actually strained some chicken noodle Soups and keep a couple of the noodles in there and chew them til there's nothing left, and it taste so good!! I've also chewed on a couple of saltine crackers, as they turn to mush real easy too. I've just been so hungry and getting tired of eating the same ole stuff. I've been able to handle everything really well. If I start to feel full, mostly from my shakes I stop for awhile.

      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.
