I can't believe it's already come and gone. When I woke up the pain was so bad I was starting to seriously regret going through this. I'm still in pain but its manageable.

I feel like the first two weeks are going to be the toughest. Between all the timings of when and what to sip on and getting used to the supplements, etc. I just pray I can get through it.

You can do this! It IS tough at first, but each day is better than the previous one. Take care of yourself and be patient with yourself with your eating and drinking schedule. It's daunting at first, but it does become easier!

I'm on the same page too! I'm day 7 post-op & it does seem to get better. We're in this for the big picture- maybe not this week or next... but sometime soon, we'll be glad we did this! Also, I've not lost any weight in the last 5 days- I'm the same weight as the day I got home. Isn't that weird? I am just going to say that my body is so amazing that it can hang on to calories so well! Kind of like if I was deserted at sea, I'd have a better chance at survival because of my amazing floating capacity. Hang in there!

I’m also day 7 of recovery. The pain WAS horrible. I did wonderful the first five days. Set my timer and everything. Yesterday I transitioned to Full liquids ie broth, creamy Soups, etc. Well, that wasn’t enough for me. I incorporated hummus and Puréed black Beans. Well if that isn’t sticking to the rules enough, today I incorporated half cup of purées canned chicken with Light Mayonaise. Went down fine and feeling fine. I feel so angry and frustrated at myself though. 7 days and I’m already breaking rules?? I had Sleeve to RNY conversion bc of horrible GERD. Surgeon ended up removing all of my stomach BUT the pouch bc of all the scar tissue. Shame on me.

Its tough nobody will ever argue that - But you got this this - Stay calm - DO not push the food eating, and try and move a little - You will look back at this in 4 months and never remember the bad parts because the good out ways so much of the bad!

Reach out here anytime - All of us have been knocked down hard exactly like you are right now!

      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.
