(Let's call it) 5 days post-op



Recommended Posts

Packing to travel and a full schedule the rest of the day, so I'd better bang this out now.

...and a new thing - a blog. You can follow the continuing saga in blog form. Swell.

Available via my profile, I assume.

350 this morning. Net -5.2 pounds in 24 hours (-33 since May 9). Don't know whether to be thrilled or freaked. It sorta sucks being hungry all the time.

Something I am a little perplexed by is my sugar numbers.

I was taken off insulin on surgery day and was told to expect scary numbers 12 - 18 hours post-op (they went from mid-90s to 210s).

Since then, all over the place (120s-150s). I was advised not to even think about returning to insulin until, at least, my 10-day post-op check up.

Anybody got a more Enlightened viewpoint (other than my clueless spitballing)?

Off to the home town. As always, thanks.

      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...

        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.
