Well hopefully after eating gets normal, u will see some change. Gen :-)

Those on liquid diet, do you know about how many calories you are getting a day. Mine is quiet low. I think my body is hanging onto what it has. Or those of you that were on the liquid diet feel free to chime in. Gen :-)

I thought my pain was pain but a lot of it is gas. As I get rid of the gas little by little, I do feel better. I had surgery on Sat. the 15th and haven't had to take anything for pain since monday. If you notice the pain easing as you expel more gas or pain moving to different areas, possibly where gas has moved to, then it is gas. Gen :-)

It should be healed. Just eat a little less solid foods to give it time to shrink back down just in case. You could try the liquid for a couple days if r worried. Just an uneducated option. Gen :-)

Body Logix or it might be Body Logics: I have tried all 3 flavors. 24 g protein, 1 g fat, 3 (I believe) g carbs. I like all 3 flavors and mix them w water. i never used milk in them. it Doesn't get thick unless you add to it for it to thicken up, such as yogurt. It can be found at Meijers, if you live in a Meijers state. I've also seen it at Kmart. It is 19.96 or so for a large container. I've been happy w it. I also have on order unflavored Unjury which will be here Monday. I received the confirmation today for tracking the shipment. I do think I'm having an issue with milk. I normally have coconut milk, but Dr said cow :-( I think that is why I'm remaining gassy, I had suspicions of having a slight lactose intolerance. I had issues in the past that relAted back to it. Gen :-)

I have been craving mashed potato and gravy. It is that time of year and I generally only have them 3 times a year, turkey day, Xmas day, Easter. If its on approved list and someone has the craving, yippee for them Gen :-)

I have an app on my phone, Lose It. I love it. If you have android or iPhone, you should try it out. You can also connect to other people w it. :-) Dec 15th New me and life begins

That is good to know. Most of my gas pain has been on the left side of abdomen to the center by chest area. :-) Dec 15th New me and life begins

I know I wasn't perfect on it. It just helps to prepare your body for the surgery by decreasing the size of the liver that way your liver will shrink some and has a better chance of not getting "nicked." I guess what I'm saying do your best on the preop diet keeping in mind that it is best for you. :-) Dec 15th New me and life begins

Southern: it will get better for you. Try not to dwell on the negatives that you are overcoming but try to focus on the positive that the surgery will bring to your life. I have doubts at times and I think everyone does. That is where the mental ups n downs we go thru by having the surgery. We have to adjust to a whole new life style. :-) Dec 15th New me and life begins

I get cold. But I just had surgery saturday so not sure if that helps :-( :-) Dec 15th New me and life begins

I miscalculated a day, forgot which day I was on but was only the 4 days. I believe it was mainly due to the weekend surgery. The drain is a bulb, called the JP drain, it drains stuff from I side the abdomen. If I had an incision leak then it would fill up quickly or the color of the fluid that was drank. (From what I was told) :-) Dec 15th New me and life begins

I'm bruised as well. :-) Dec 15th New me and life begins
