It's post-op day 2 and I can't sit or lie still -- not nervous, but my legs are quite restless. Could this be from caffeine withdrawal? I drank up to 5 a day pre-op and hate anything with coffee in it. Already took Benadryl and Ambien, slept for a while but back up again. What's going on, and how can I stop it? Thanks!

Oh my. You didn't detox before surgery? Ouch. It could very well be. Keep track of your temperature and stay on the fluids. Try to walk. Other than that, caffeine withdrawal has to be waited out. :s

Yea usually during your pre-op diet you can detox it out with the 3 days. I'm back on the stuff but I did go through withdrawal headaches before and a little bit after surgery. Hope this gets better. You shouldn't drink any this soon after surgery wait a couple months you'll be totally detoxed but If you can't live with out the stuff it's better to wait until you are healed.

      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.
