Hey everyone! Well, it's official....I was sleeved on Friday march 1st. To be honest, I was not expecting to be in the amount of pain that I am in. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday. The first 36 hours I was needing my pain med, dilaudid, every 2 hours :-( The morphine they tried first wasn't even touching my pain! After the first 36 hours they started me on the liquid lortab. It helps but I'm still in pain. Besides my abdominal pain I have had this horrible back pain. They did some additional blood work to see of I had postop pancreatitis. Thank goodness everything was fine there! Thankfully, I haven't had too much nausea! I'm hanging in there and I know that it will keep getting better day by day!

Congrats. Sounds like gas pain. I used a heating pad and would place it on my back and on my chest and it helped with the pain. You also want to walk around the house. it helps move that gas out of you.

      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.
