I’m 21 days post-op from VGS..I have been on purée phase since day 14 (to go to day 30). I have been drinking my pre-op shakes still and doing a little purée, but honestly, I’m just not hungry. It takes everything most of the time for me to want to eat. Anyone else dealing or felt like this around this time?

Starting W: 268
Day of Surgery W: 253
Today’s W: 234

Embrace this time. Don't eat! Get ALL of your fluids in and MORE!!! And do what you need to meet your 60g of Protein requirement. That's non-negotiable. 2 Premier Proteins and you're done. Boom baby! Then go about your life as normal!

Don't force yourself to eat. You can make it on fewer calories and Protein Shakes. Enjoy this losing phase.

Stalls happen. Don't up cals or lower them. Just focus on meeting your Protein goals and following your doc's rules!!

I have my post-op surgeon visit tomorrow. Most (if not all) rules have been by my NUT/team. I have followed their book, except eating those little meals. I get all my Protein a day (shakes aren't the problem) and am hydrated! I will keep the course, no matter what! Thanks!

      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.
