SweetJephy, welcome to Bandster Hell. I am right there w/you. This is the hard part, for me at least. My regular appetite has come back, but I have no restriction. I could honestly eat ANYTHING right now, but so far, I'm doing pretty well. I've been doing my best to hold off and stay in control. Of course, I've slipped up, but...guess what...you dust yourself off and keep moving forward.

Just try to keep the hunger at bay by keeping to a schedule, if possible. Also, avoid getting hungry in the first place. I do this by getting plenty of Protein in, both through my meals and my shakes in b/w meals.

Hope this helps!

I know it's rough, but hang in there. It's temporary.

<p>How about eating like a hypoglycemic during this time. Eat lots of SMALL meals....maybe eat about every two hours or so so you blood surgar doesn't fluctuate wildly. You can't eat much anyway...my doctor considered soft foods to include things like tuna. I had lots of tuna and cottage cheese because it gave me more of an illusion of chewing. Anyway....this too shall pass, but I know it's a pain in the butt right now.</p>

      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...

        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.
