I am 38 and had my surgery in December. EASY PEASY. You won't remember a thing after they start your IV!

I'm 37 and I also had my surgery in December. What TheCurvyJ says is right! When they wheeled me in to the OR they said they were going to put some bandages on my legs. I remember raising my leg to facilitate that, and the next thing I knew I was in recovery!

The last thing I remember was taking a right turn out of pre-op. That's it. After that I was in recovery but don't remember any of that, just getting pushed back into a room. Stayed on the pain drugs and slept for the rest of the day. Got up, walked, pee'd got poked by various tech's, nurses etc. Watched a lot of sports center (was up all night since the nurses wouldn't let me sleep). Walked some more, drank some Water and some Protein. Went home...that's about it.

      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.
