On surgery day, did you have to have a catheter? For some reason I've had a little fear of them (even though I've had one before, about 10 yrs ago) and I just want to prepare myself ahead of time. Thanks!

No catheter only the drain.

no catheter or drain! Dont worry! It will be okay. If your doctor uses a catheter, it can be put in after you are asleep! Just ask them to do that if necessary.

The catheter & the breathing tube both scared me (among many other things) Both were done after I was asleep and I had no idea. Catheter being in was no big deal (honestly that was almost a deal breaker for me when I found out about it prior to surgery) Breathing tube was gone long before I was awake. All good!

Thank you for asking this. The idea of having a catheter also freaks me out a little. Never had one.

      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.
