My abdomen is swollen and uncomfortable especially after I drink. Is this normal? It's swollen all the time (sticking out a bit like I'm pregnant) and discomfort comes after I drink. Did everyone else have this and what did you do about it? How bad? When did it go away? Did you do something to help it? Thank you in advance.

After surgery I was quite swollen just over a week. Between trapped gas and general swelling it was uncomfortable. However it didnt hurt to drink anything. I did have to drink pretty slow at first. Now its all good.

I really didn't notice any swelling for me. I am sorry wish I could be more help. I was gassy for the first few weeks and still get burpy after I eat.

      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.
