This feeling stayed about 10 days for me, 2 weeks max.

I still feel a bit tender at times, but most of the time I am fine. If I vaccuum or do laundry I can feel the burn. Also I jogged a little on the treadmill and I felt the pain a little. I am almost 3 weeks out. I don't need my pain meds and I am doing fine. I believe I am still swollen, but that may be wishful thinking lol.

My tummy was swollen for about 2 weeks too, but the pain I had in my right upper side lasted for almost a month. I guess that's the hole that they took my stomach out through?? That spot was all bruised and swollen for what seemed like forever, but it all goes away eventually. I had alot of bowel gas and bowel "issues", so I think that didn't help my bloated belly!! One day you'll wake up and be moving along and realize that you feel alot better, it's a nice surprise! Good luck!

      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.
