So, officially, I gained 5.6 pounds taking in those liquids. I took in 2 liters a day for 2 days. The first day I didn't pee at all. The second day I peed all day and all last night.

So considering I'm good with liquids (because I can take 64oz now) my weigh in today put me at 28 pounds since surgery... bummer... I was so close to ONEderland... sigh.. what can you do? It's not like I'm at my starting weight, right? Lol

On a bright note, the benadryl helped a lot. My hives are mostly gone. I'm going back to Pepcid today and wait for my lame doctor to respond.

The only problem now is Protein.. I can't stomach it for the life of me. I've tried a variety of brands and all of them make me want to throw up right after.

I had the same problem with Protein. About a week after surgery, it all started making me sick. Luckily, I've been able to eat enough the last week or so to average about 65g, so I've nixed the powder!

People say wls is the easy way out.. They couldn't be further from the truth!

Even if that's the truth after all: why shouldn't one choose the easier way?

I discovered that it's quite easy to shut people up blabbering on about the "easy way": tell them that you'd either have to be a masochist or a dumbhead to choose the rocky road instead of the easier way. Usually shuts them up really quick. :lol:

Have you tried Syntrax? Even my husband, who usually makes a face when tasting these Protein drinks liked a spoon full of Syntrax chocolate truffle in his latte.

If it's not the taste that's putting you off but the actual fact that you get nausea after drinking them: try drinking less of them or blend it up with some berries and eat it with a spoon. I had a bad experience with Vega One vanilla mixed with some fruit (I think I drank it too fast or it was too sweet). Made me throw up. Interestingly enough the chocolate one was ok.

Oh, got new scales today (not only tests BF but also muscle mass, curious to try). I wonder if I have to correct the numbers now. Hopefully downwards... :lol:

Yes! I feel great! I'm not getting tired anymore going up the stairs. I'm eating again and the hives are mostly gone. Also, I think I've begun I feel hunger. Like my stomach is about to growl, but it never does. It's weird.

As long as you are not barfing now, then it's fine. I had a couple links of my husband's ice cream last week. It's all good! Just don't over do it. One bite will not completely screw you up. Just don't do it everyday.

      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.
