Oh no!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Looks like I might be in the clear. They are thinking it's an allergic reaction to the bonding stuff they use.

Sleeved on Valentines Day. Came home from hospital on day 4. Stepped on scale to monitor progress...I was up 14 pounds after being down by 27 on day of surgery! What the heck...? Today I was down 5 of the 14. I had IV's while in the hospital and could understand a little Water weight gain, but 14 pounds? Anyone have a similar experience or any answers?

I gained 18 lbs in Fluid weight while in the hospital--but it came off pretty quickly--about a week. The next week I lost about 10 lbs. So my 2-week net loss was only 10 lbs, lower than others, but the fluid definitely puts you behind. I'm not sure why some people retain that much fluid and others don't. BTW most of my fluid was lost from diarrhea... it wasn't too bad, though it was good that I was at home.

The pain pills are killing me. Anyone taking children's tylenol?

I am occasionally. I started with liquid but its so thick it just about made me puke. Then switched to the chewables and they are much better but you have to take like 4-5 of them.

Are you on pills? My pain medicine is in liquid form

I'm on dilaudid pills. They are tiny. But I don't hurt enough for them. Need just plain Tylenol. My husband made me think I should just stick to orders.

I was told not to use neosporin. I was sleeved on the 15th. The itching is the worst. Anyone still having the has pains? I am using the gas x thin strips, but when will it go away?

      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.
