Great job, just make sure get up and walk around a lot, it helps with the gas (and pains if you get them from the gas, my neck and left shoulder hurt when I got surgery). But it gets better!

Thanks everyone!!!! I've been getting up as much as possible but if I'm up for too long I feel a little sick. Doctor said this is normal for the first day or so, so I hope it goes away quickly. Other than that no complaints! Hopefully my pain stats like this and does not get worse but only time will tell!!

Congrats to all of you! Follow your post op diet the best u can because now your body needs to heal. Rest, walk in small amounts as often as u can, sip, sip, sip as much as u can all day. You may feel bloated for a couple weeks and a little more sore if u had hernia repair. Don't worry about losing weight now. You are healing, but it will come off!

      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.
