Miserably. Post Op 6 days and there is such good food around today with the family and none for the taking.. yum Tomato Soup.

I am just over 2 months post-op, I had one okay sized piece of turkey, one small scoop of potatoes (small kid spoon size), one small scoop on cranberries and a bite of a roll and I’m uncomfortably full...

I am still at the soft food stage. I had turkey (dark meat because it is more tender) mashed potatoes and some dressing. I ate very little and had no issues. I did feel very tired afterwards. It is the most carbs I have had in 5 weeks so I am sure my body was like "what the hell". All in total I ate about 3/4 of a cup of food. I did have a small piece (3 bites) of Sugar Free Chocolate pie. I mainly just ate the pudding without the crust. The day was fine for me- at 5 weeks out my mindset has DRASTICALLY changed about food. It's unbelievable. Whenever I got it in my head that I wanted more I just reminded myself that I was 30 pounds down today and it just wasn't worth it. At this stage in the game I know when I am hungry and when my head is hungry 😋

I'm glad everyone got through the holiday okay. I'm 11 months post op so I had a little different situation as I could eat what ever I want. I tried to stick to my plan as much as possible. I had turkey and then a little bit of yams, broccoli casserole, stuffing and cranberry sauce. I shared a piece of cornbread with my 4 year old and I did have a few bites of pumpkin pie that I shared with my daughter. All in all everything went well.

      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.
