Shoot for about an ounce at a time, maybe a little less.

I was able to drink well very early on a few days post op in the hospital I was already drinking around 60oz a day and after a few weeks that doubled and now I drink shakes everyday and Water and coffee or tea without any issues...

Never really felt much restriction of liquids except have to take smaller mouthfuls.

Just sip, sip, sip all day long and don't worry about measuring it. Just don't gulp or use a straw.

my surgery was December 10 2019. I was able to drink regular from day one. I'm drinking 2 premiere shakes and most of the Water. I hope it changes when I start to eat food.

I"m 2 days postop today. I take 2 small sips that I would estimate is about 20-30ml (about 1oz). If I sip more than that at one time I feel pressure and uncomfortable. And everything tastes so SWEET! I have Gatorade Zero and it is extremely sweet that I need to dilute it. I've also tried Crystal light and barely add any of it to an 8oz glass bc it is also super sweet. Today so far I've had about 35 oz of liquids. This was much better than yesterday.

Our program's basic standard was to shoot for an ounce (28 ml, for those so inclined) every five minutes; if you can do that, great, if not, do what you can do. Some have a fair amount of inflammation in their stomach post op which makes it like dribbling the Water through a pinched soda straw, while others have little swelling in there and the water flows through fairly easily. Just sip a little at a time and see how it goes; if it goes easily, try sipping a bit faster, but if it threatens to come back up (or actually does) then slow down and do what you can - it will resolve in time.

I had little problem and was able to go through a bowl of broth (6-8 oz?) and a 4 oz juice box in one sitting (half hour?) in the hospital; my wife on the other hand was much more restricted and it took a while to resolve.

      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.
