Oh my gosh, it gets so much better. You just had major surgery and it's a hard recovery, but it will get better! I'm 8 months out and have lost 80 pounds. I'm only a little over halfway to goal but my life is already so much better in so many ways! I'm happier and full of hope. I just bought a shirt in a cute non-plus size boutique yesterday and I nearly cried.

I had surgery on 3/12, Monday, and I am wondering the same thing. I missed the part where your stomach will feel like it is cramping and will make gurgling sounds everything you take a sip or tiny bite of soft food. I can barely get 12 oz of liquid in right now and most of that is not Protein. I woke up at 3:30am in pain and realized I hasn't taken anything for pain so I am up taking pain meds, walking, sipping, and wondering what have I done. I could cry with you.

Please don't dispair! It will get better!

My tummy has a life of its own. Every sip and every nibble of food would make it talk back to me and tell me what a terrible person I was for doing what I did to it!

Remember... your tummy has been in for a MAJOR shock... it will fuss at you.. you will get depressed because you just had surgery and you will wonder what in the world you did to yourself.. but it will get better really soon! This feeling should only last a couple of weeks.

Before long.. you will wonder.. hm.. I can hardly tell I had surgery... other than the fact I can't eat but a little bit!

I am almost 10 weeks out and I promise it gets better every day! I was so overwhelmed for weeks and finally things started to feel normal again. It's a new normal, but all the uncertainty really does pass. Hang in there! :)

      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.
