I had my surgery on Oct 30 and I am on puree and drinking as much as I can. Popsicles are my new best friend. My problem is that with minimal movement, walking around the house I get hot where I need to go outside or strip some clothes off. I feel bad because I do not want to turn my heater on because of this and my poor husband freezes. I can only go to the store for a few minutes because I get hot and then feel exhausted. I have a appt tomorrow to have my Vitamin levels checked.

It takes awhile to get your energy back, that's for sure. Your body is running on so much less than it used to. And your hormones have been affected by the surgery. I myself am colder than I once was. I'm not sure how old you are, but I would think it's a function of your body adjusting to the changes it's going through. Every week you'll feel better, some days you'll feel whooped! I'm at 3 months and feeling much more myself than in the first 2, and I didn't have any set backs or problems of any kind.

Thank-you…I have Lupus and Sjogren's Syndrome on Monday's I take a form of chemo pills, so my immune system is low…maybe that has something to do with it as well. :(

What meds are you taking for your lupus? I was on planquinel and methotrexate. The methotrexate caused me to have the same symptoms you described. Felt like I was in menopause!! I quit both meds 2 weeks before surgery Sept 4th and have not taken anything since! Feel amazing! Weight is comin off slow... I've only lost 40.5. But I'm thrilled to be off the meds and feeling good. I was lower BMI so I expected to be a slower loser.

      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.
