I can't believe Im saying this. I've lost 20 pounds. Yes, you read that right. Twenty Frickin Pounds. I haven't seen the scale go downward in several years. I'm waiting for this to be a fluke or to see it all come back next week. Wow. I'm amazed.

Congrads on your major accomplishments! I was sleeved on the 29th of July. I purposely not gotten on the scales. I see my jeans sliding down and other clothing. My follow up appoint was rescheduled for tomorrow. I post an update after the visit. I pray that the results will be the same for me. Have you gone back to work yet?

Hi Yellowbox, I am sure you will be so happy when you get on the scale! I haven't gone back to work yet, no. I plan to be off for two more weeks. i feel like I could easily work half days right now but I want to just focus on myself, which is surprisingly hard.

tuna, eggs and refried Beans sounds like a feast of Kings to me right now. The Protein Drinks and milk...ugh. I can barely choke it down. I had a hiccup fit for ten minutes today...common?

Hi all. Going to try to go back to work a half day tomorrow. Still have some left side pain occasionally and get a little light headed. Much better today though. I am down 6 since surgery and 13 total since pre- op. I am very pleased. Don't have my follow up until next week. Still trying to get Protein in. How much protein is everyone having each day? Thanks.

I'm hitting 60-70 for Protein. I live on Protein Shakes and Water. I have a dr appointment tomorrow to finally get rid of the drain- I will keep you posted on weight loss.

Good job guys!! Loving your progress! Keeps me motivated!

I hope I'm doing this reply right. I truly understand the protein issue. I've been drinking out of the 3oz. Mouthwash cups, I'll probably never drink from them again after this part of life ends. I'll need some help with posting my stats after getting them tomorrow.

My Dr. wasn't as concerned with protein the first 2 weeks (full liquids) as he was getting my 64 oz or more of Water to avoid coming back for dehydration. Week three (mushy foods) is where he wants me to start thinking all about protein. No problem! Ill be ready for some protein packed REAL FOOD! I have loved Soup my entire life but after this, I don't wanna see soup for a LONG time!

Glad to see everyone is doing pretty well. I got to start full liquids yesterday and am excited. However, I do not feel like eating so did very little today. My goal is 60 grams Protein but my doctor is also more focused on Water the first couple of weeks. They do have a schedule to try to fit it in on full liquids but it literally has me eating or drinking every 1-1.5 hours. Yuck, getting full thinking about it.

Still have some soreness and gas pain in my shoulder from time to time but walking helps a lot. I start puréed next week. I'm not hungry yet and thankfully no more nausea. Really fun having a shared sleeveday with all of you! I love having friends to talk with about all this. :)

I think we're at the end of the pain, and it's just a matter of a few days now..

And I agree that it's so much fun going through this with other people.. step by step.. :-)

I started with a little pureed liver and mashed potatoes last night.. two teaspoons of each and I was STUFFED!!!! What a fantastic feeling to be full and satisfied - and from soooooo little!!!

I wonder why each of us was told a different amount of time on the liquids...

      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.
