Does anyone else remember waking up with sore calf muscles? I feel like I did an amazing workout while I was under! I'm it is from the compression things.

Your body may also lack Potassium and Magnesium (or even Calcium). I suggest to take an extra supplement of these.

After my surgery, I did have sore muscles and after watching the surgery done on Youtube, I understand why. The Drs spread your legs wide, so they can work from between your legs.

If you're waking up with muscle cramps, I would have to agree with Potassium depletion, more fluids.

If the calf pain persists get it checked, could be a blood clot in your leg. I have one n it broke off n traveled to my lungs so I have blood clots all through my lungs, life threatening situation. I've been in the ICU. It's nothing to mess with.

Karenw - my legs were not spread open. In fact, my feet were pressed up against a foot board as the table is inclined a bit as the doctor works.

      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.
