i am such a flurry of emotions right now i cant even describe it...i believe i have just shut down! lol

they wanted to schedule me for next week, but i have a very high BMI and i need my two week liquid diet! i wanna come out of there safely.

i am, with the help of the search function on the forums, compiling my list of stuff to get. im gonna take two weeks off work and if i dont have to leave the house at all, that would be awesome!

Quick question for the post bandsters...

did any of you have a low-to-the-ground platform bed? and if so, did that present any problems?

i took the platform base out of mine so my matress is essentially on the floor inside a frame at the moment....i dont generally have any problems getting into and out of bed, but i am considering sleeping on my super comfy sofa for a few days after surgery. do you guys think that might be necessary? just something i was thinking about....thanks!

Lower to the ground is definitely easier than higher. The less you have to stretch the better. sleep where you are comfortable. It is hard to predict what will be comfortable after surgery. I was fine in my bed and sleep on my tummy again on day 3 post op. Easy peasy!

      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.
