I had my surgery on a Monday and I drove (all the way across las vegas) to my post op appt on that Friday. I even went to Walmart after my appt. I was tired but had no problem.

I'm scheduled for the 18th. How many days until I'm able to drive ?

I was able to drive after 1 week as long as I wasn't on pain meds.

Came home from hospital after 1.5 days and drove next day with no muscle or pain issues. You are just not supposed to drive until you are off narcotics, which i stopped taking after the day of surgery.

My dr said 10 days. Main thing is that I wasn't on meds still. I didn't take my meds after few days and I did drive but only to take my daughter to school which is less than a mile away. If I had to go any further than the school my mom would pick me up or take my daughter to her appointment. Getting in and out if the car was kinda painful at first too.

      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.
