Hi all,

i had my surgery on March 26. i went home the next morning and i only took the pain medicine that night. i felt like the pain was tolerable. i have now officially lost 52 pounds since my highest weight of 348 a month ago. when i started my two week pre-op liquid diet i was at 326. the day of surgery i weighed in at 319. i didnt lose too much on the diet. today im at 296 which is amazing. people are already telling me they can see the difference. i started the phase two diet which is the pureed diet. this is where im having a little bit of an issue. i cant get past cooking something and then just blending it. it doesnt taste good to me at all.

do you guys have any suggestions?

Highest Weight; 348lb

Surgery Weight: 319lb

Current Weight: 296lb

Goal Weight : 190-200lb

If you don't like the blending process don't make things that need to be blended. Try softer, wet-er foods that don't need to be blended (I ate a lot of egg whites and premade tuna salad) during the puree phase. Just take it slow whatever food you go with.

Also awesome progress so far!!!

You are doing great!! My surgeon suggested that we could even purée spaghetti and sauce. No chicken though, too tough to process yet.

yes thank god im able to eat puree foods but im just having trouble on what to eat. i think what has helped me a lot is that im making sure im getting in 10,000 steps daily no matter what that helped with the gas situation as well as the losing weight

Honestly I've been using the premixed variety that come in the pouch, because its less mess and I don't have to worry about making them ahead (or needing a can opener).

Here are some Starkist Varieties

      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.
