I was told Protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch then swig the magnesium citrate at 2pm. Then it's Clear Liquids only until midnight. After midnight nothing ... not even sips for meds.

I finally wrapped up work and can totally start focusing on the procedure and my new lifestyle. Now that I've started the bowel prep, it's starting to seem more real.

Had my surgery yesterday morning. My surgeon says no complications. NPO right now until the x-ray this morning. He thinks I'll probably be going home today. Can't wait to hear other reports :)

I came home on Nov 4th and then spiked a temp of 101.2 ... Called the doc and he suggested that I work harder on my incentive spirometer and up my fluids a little. Worked like a charm. My fever is back down under a 100. I'm taking my Lortab elixir around the clock every 4 hours so I can focus on my deep breathing. The gas pain is still significant so I'm trying to walk and take gas-x strips. Hope it goes away soon.

      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.
