Lesson Learned The Last 2 Nights..



Recommended Posts

Well last nights lesson was, don't take liquid Codine and lay down right away, cuz within 10 mins it was back up and out....

Lesson tonight is, don't take 5 pills within an hour of each other because those too will come back up and out...

This has been the first time throwing up, surgery was 16 days ago...

I think I'm just getting too cocky and need to remember to take it slow......

Thats all :)

You still need to sip your tylenol with cod. Take it slowly and you will be fine. We all learn our lessons the hard way. ;)

OMG I must have drawn the short stick with the pain, it was bad in the hospital they tried 3 different things and nothing worked... They sent me home with Tylenol Codine which honestly was a joke, its only in the last 2 days that I have felt human and can get out of bed without dreading it...It was only the right side that hurt and it wasnt tthe cuts it has been a deep muscle pain..... But the last 2 days I have been pushing through and getting some walk time in and that has helped...

Don't be scared, I only cried once due to pain but it was more frustration than anything....

Awww wth!! That sucks. ...I can't believe how different everyone's experience is..I AM scared ...I'm so glad your feeling a little better , now it's only going to get better from here ,

I ate a huge dinner tonight ...( I'm having my surg on weds the 6 th ) and I have the worst indigestion , I keep thinking, I could feel like this all the time !! You never know how it's going to go .....but frustration seems to be the one common denominator !! I hope your 100% sooooon!

Don't worry about the heartburn and stuff they send you home with everything,, I actually had awful heartburn for years and I haven't taken a pill since surgery so I hope I'm over that crap but who knows when I start to actually eat...

I know everyone is so different, 2 people at work were back to work in under 2 weeks... I asked my doc and he said 3-4 I have a pretty good short term plan so sign me up for 4, I'm actually kinda glad I did that as I'm finally starting to feel good and want some me time to get used to everything....

Today I learned another lesson don't chew or swallow gum, I had a total brain fart and chewed some gum and down it went.. Had to call my doc she said within the hour u will know if it's stick luckily I feel fine and everything is going down...

This is all learning time trial and error... You will be fine!! If I can do it anyone can

Thanks Sleeve!!! Now that i'm through the worst my outlook is much better :)

Ilyssa- I think people kinda figured out what i was doing at work and most of them know by now because of my postings on Facebook, i think they all know that i had struggled with PCOS and fertility issues so i don't think anyone is holding what i did against me...And if they judge me who cares, i'll look better than all of them soon :)

My last supper lasted a week, i think that week i went out for Pasta, had pizza, McD's..My final friday was Tacos due to Cinco De mayo later for dinner it was all bar food, chicken wings, rib tips, brushetta 2 orders, fries and a veggie platter oh and 4 vodka cranberries..Me and the girls polished that off like nothing, it was like it was their last meal also....My friends are thinking this will also help them because when the come over in the future when i can actually eat they will get normal size portions and healthy stuff from scratch and not a box :)

Day 1-4 sucks but after that on liquid you just don't care..

      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.
