Holy, just looked at my surgery ticker and it's says 0 days! Not that I haven't been aware ALL day due to the clear liquid diet (STARVING!), but to see my little mermaid on the 0 mark freaked me out! lol Hoping all goes well. Started with wicked allergies yesterday. Hoping that's not a problem. Surgeries not til 12:15 EST so I guess I'll try to sleep late so I don't freak out watching my husband drink his coffee knowing that it will be a while before I can have any. Love coffee. I'll miss that more than food in the beginning. Well enough rambling. See y'all on the other side! Woot! Woot!

Stephen that's awesome! Sorry I'm getting back to you 3 days later but if you had your surgery yesterday I'm sure you understand why. Day after surgery was horrible however today I'm feeling pretty decent. A little advice would be to walk as much as you can. I hated walking in the hospital but as soon I got home I took a nap, had a few sips of Protein and got up for a SLOW 1 mile walk. I feel so much better moving. Hope all went well for your surgery! Check in and let me know how you made out

CoreyCan and everyone that has posted their support,

Everything went pretty well. I was in a lot of pain and once they stopped the IV Pain killer it was not long before I needed some of the liquid pain meds. I am home now and have some pain, moistly from gas and just keep walking so that it will go away.

Problem is that I have gained 12 pounds while in the hospital. I went in at 301 and got out at 313, I am sure its all Water weight from th IV but ist a little discouraging. I know that its temporary though. I have a great suppor system and i am sure the weight will fall off as I start as the water comes off and even more whenI get to excersising. Stephen

Hey Stephen! So glad you're home safe and sound :) So you're only a day behind me. I can tell you everyday gets a whole lot better. I'm feeling good today, lots of energy and stomach muscles are starting to feel better. As far as the gas, besides walking try drinking something warm and then walk around. It worked really well for me. I have made it a point to walk 1 mile everyday and I really think that's why I'm feeling so good. I walk slow but I always feel good when I get back and am sleeping better too. And ya gotta love the hospital weight gain, it will come off pretty quick once you're up and about again. Yay for us! We're on our way! Keep in touch and let me know how you're doing--Corey

      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.
