I think it depends on what pain medication you are on. And if you have recovered from the anesthetic.I waited a couple of weeks to be on the safe side, because I did not want to be the cause of an accident due to my inability to react.

I would ask your doctor as he/she should have an answer for you.

I was able to drive whenever I was no longer taking pain meds. I stopped taking pain meds 2 days after surgery (because I didn't find the meds to be helping and I was almost pain free). Had surgery Tuesday, drove that saturday

Yeah, I started driving within a couple days. I only took pain medicine for 2 days after surgery and I was fine. Not like I felt like going anywhere. I pretty much just bummed around for a week. But I went back to work after a week too and was fine.

I was allowed to drive 24 hours after my last blood thinner injection. So some of it depends on meds. I think a week is typical.

      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.
