Don't be nervous. I am being 100% honest when I say it is nothing compared to what I had expected. The pain is temporary so much good will come from this.

I have to go in for surgery Tuesday. So you don't think the pain is that severe? I'm afraid of not waking up but I'm also afraid of the pain.

~~~Stephanie

To me it feels also like the inside of my stomach above my belly button where the incisions were made is just badly bruised like from the inside so yes it hurts to cough it's uncomfortable but I've been taking my pain medicine that does help walking around also helps. It's a little bit of a struggle to get up out of the chair but I could definitely do it on my own and it's the day of surgery so I have great expectations that by tomorrow by Sunday even Monday I will feel 75% better and almost completely myself. I know exactly what you mean about being afraid of waking up I think everyone has that fear naturally. When I was in the operating room and the doctor or I should say the anesthesiologist said I'm putting in the medicine to make you go to sleep I actually started crying. But they held my hand and she rubbed it and told me everything was going to be okay, I think it was just a combination of all the emotions, just everything all at once, just hit me and it's completely normal. You will do wonderfully and I honestly feel like this is the best decision I've ever made.

      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.
