Thanks Mike! And congrats on the weight loss! You are doing awesome! How are you feeling so far? I haven't started any solids yet...the Protein shakes really fill me up. I still haven't met 64 oz Water in a day either...although today I'm only 8oz away!

Hey lauren,

I am actually doing really good. I am surprised at how much I can drink. I have no issues getting my Water or Protein in everyday. I am not following the post-op diet either which is kinda bad I guess but I feel great with what I am eating and have no issues keeping it down,. As soon as I got home I started with blended Soups with homemade broths to thin them out. I have already tried scrambled eggs, deli meats, cheese and my sleeve handles it no problems. I am going to wait another week and start to incorporate fish and deli meats into my daily diet. I am drinking 1 costco Protein shake a day but once I can eat some 2-4ounce fish fillets, deli meats and cheeses daily I don't think I will need to drink Protein Shakes anymore.

The weight is coming off but keep in mind I hardly followed the pre-op diet, in fact did not lose a pound prior to surgery, maybe even gained. You would be shocked to know what I ate the night before surgery lol. I think this is why I got a little jump start post-op.

I'm excited for the Super Bowl... You guys have a party?

Had to copy and paste the pages I wanted to save. Tedious but worth it :)

Mike,

Thanks for posting this... it is a great help!

Fletcherette,

How did you save it as a Word doc? The best I could do was print it - one page at a time!!

      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.
