I came home today in a car and it was fine. Just take a pillow with you and press it lightly against your belly.

Just bring the pillow and tell them to watch the bumps, and you'll be just fine. No problems getting up, just couldn't bend over.

I rode home in the back of a NYC taxi through the potholed streets of Manhattan. NYC taxi drivers are not known for their cautious driving. If only they could have kept me hooked up to my pain pump for the ride home.

      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.
