Had My Surgery 10Am Turs



Recommended Posts

Ll be honest, having a rough time. I'm told 2 out of 10 have bad swelling of the stomach afterwards. I am one of the unfortunate ones.

Took my swallow test yesterday and nothing would pass due to swelling.

I refused to have them remove my drain & IV. Too soon. Listen to your bodies folks. Don't let them rush you.

It is most important to walk and try to release gas/air. Very painful. Morphine is my best friend.

I'm sorry things have been rough. Hopefully the swelling will go down and you'll heal quickly!

Yes, they do take the IV away too quickly. I was afraid that I would get dehydrated due to not being able to drink enough fluids. Take advantage of the morphine as long as you can, it does help. The swelling will go down 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.
