In My Hospital Room - Now A Bandster!



Recommended Posts

Woke up from surgery to find that the Dr. had to use a large band, I had been previously told that he always used the regular band, never needed to use the large!

I hope this does not destroy my hopes of being a " No Filler " ?

These ice chips are yummy LOL - Not hungry at all, looking forward to going home tomorrow.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the "other side". After the surgery, those ice chips are heaven. Get plenty of rest, sip your Water and drink as much Protein as allowed and you can.

Congrats, rest when you're not doing your walks. Take care of you, heating pad is good on the shoulder when the gas pains come. Enjoy your new journey.

Hope your doing O.K...

If you have a hard time in Bed at home, try sleeping in a Recliner, with a lot of pillows.

Hope you sleep well.

Thanks to all, I have been walking I cannot sleep in hospitals, hoping to go home today. My doctor was awesome enough to have the gas removing machine ( I learned about it after my last surgery it prevents the gas pain but most doctors do take the extra minute or the cost of the machine-it should be mandatory on Laproscopic procedures) so NO gas pain, very nice this is my 3rd procedure in as many years due to my liver disease.

So excited to start this journey! ! !

      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.
