I am scheduled for tomorrow. Surgery is also supposed constant at 9:30 have to be there by 7:30

This is hanner2009's mom...she had the surgery Monday and got home tonight about 6pm. She's having a rough time and alot of pain. Please say a prayer for her. I pray all of you are doing well also. Good luck to you all...

PS, it won't hurt as bad if you can sleep in the recliner or sit half up on the couch with pillows and sleep. Also, use a heating pad on the drain area...if you don't have a heating pad...put a towel in the dryer and let it get warm...fold it to keep the heat in it and place where it hurts. Get up and down like you are 9 months pregnant...it won't hurt as much. All this is my experience. Hope it helps.

I mean magnesium citrate. My husband is flying home right now and I am trying to take care of my 3 girls while prepping for surgery tomorrow.

I got home Wednesday night and I am just now updating you all. I'm sorry for not getting on here sooner..I just didn't want to get on when I felt bad and possibly ruin someone else's excitement because I was having a hard time. Anyway, my surgery went well and my dr is very proud of the success I've made this far. I have to say though, I am, too!

I'm so proud of taking that leap of faith and going through with it and coming out on the other side a whole new person (or so it seems).

Good luck to all who are considering this surgery and thank you to everyone who has been here for me and all the other sleevers before me for support. It means the world to me.. :)

      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.
