Lila,

"If you had to, would you have been able to work 3 days after surgery ?"

I can't imagine going to work tomorrow...I'm up and around a bit today, but still needed a good two hour nap. Very hard to get sleep at night when you can hardly move.

I had booked 5 days off, and then was worried that wouldn't be enough time, they rest of the week I have to call in on whether I'll be in or not but I don't have to. Luckily, my boss has health issues and is always calling in sick...so he can't really complain.

If you are just sitting at your job, you might be okay...bring your pain meds and make sure you have a pillow to press against your stomach incase you need to cough or sneeze. I had a couple cough attacks...no fun.

Maybe, you could just call in sick on the monday...one day makes a big difference. And you'll need your rest.:notagree

Congratulations, Swanny, you, like me, are a September bandster. I was banded two Thursdays ago so the memory is pretty fresh. I spent Friday, Saturday, and much of Sunday in bed and I slept a lot. By Monday the only real pain issues I was having was with gas. I certainly didn't need the demerol though I took it at night to help me get to sleep and I still had to sleep on my back. I was able to walk around, goof on the computer, have a bath, and do a little bit of laundry. I felt pretty good but I tired easily. From that Monday life just got better and better! Then you get to eat Soups and that is a total rush! I hope hearing my experiences helps you a bit.

      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.
