What Can You Expect To Experience The First 3 Days After Surgery ?



Recommended Posts

I am having a hard time emotionally with the change. I wish SOMEONE had said you will be feeling sad or depressed for a few days. But it is because.........

Other posts have described these feelings also.

Are you still in Arizona? Im in Az.

No....although my wife and I want to move back to Arizona we are here in the midwest. I LOVE ARIZONA ....BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE. I lived in Tempe [Chandler, Old Town Scottsdale (Indian School/Millber) and Phoenix (by Union Hills and 51].

Your going to laugh but we were at major Fish/Dolphin/Whale Show here in the Midwest and they had a huge Penguin exhibit...... Specifically, there was a mural (from left to right) showing pictures of coldest penguins in the world looked like down to the warmest weather climate penguins and what they looked like.

Well...the funny thing was.....you can see an obvious correlation....THE COLDER THE CLIMATE....THE BIGGER THE PENGUIN WAS.......THE WARMER THE CLIMATE......THE SMALLER THE PENGUIN WAS. ....

LESSON LEARNED? Move to a warmer state and you will have a better chance of losing weight. Not that you will....but just a better chance :). All that I know is....I've gained 85lbs by moving back to the Midwest here.....could my theory be true regarding climate and its effect of weight? HMMM ? haha...

Blessings

I was banded today, outpatient. They kept me all day in recovery, told me to stay as long as I needed to because of pain. I was surprised. It wasnt horribly intense or unbearable but i was thinking, im super patient! I can deal. Apparently I can't. I'm a nurse so pain control and tolerance is a huge focus in my world.

I'm almost 6 foot tall, so the surgeon told my hubby that my liver was larger than he anticipated, not enlarged tho, and he had to make a 4th lap site and enlarge my umbilical site. So it took him a bit longer and he hated my big old liver it seems. Anyway, my pain is worsened when I need to burp I'm finding. And moving around really does help. I read it over and over on here but it's true!

Good luck marketing dude.

BTW- my Protein Shakes have 160 cals. In hindsight I would've found some that were Meal Replacement for my 1 week pre op. Not meer Snacks.< /p>

No, I used True Results in Scottsdale...the doctor's name is Dr. Nirmul. A few years ago I went to Terry Simpson but they were more expensive...I went the self-pay route (& 2 people I know had it done with him). With True Results all of your fills for the 1st year are included in the price....that to me was huge.

      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.
