Of course this happens on Sunday! I started having trouble on Thursday with not doing well with anything I had to chew so I scaled back to pureed, and kept at that on Friday and by Saturday night I decided to try a piece of grilled chicken. I had four or five tiny bites and threw it all up and it was this really gross thick, yellow sludge. I woke up today and felt alright, had my protien shake and halfway through church started shaking and sweating and kept getting lightheaded and dizzy. I can't eat anything (shakes are still ok) and all of a sudden now one of my incisions hurts like crazy (off pain meds for four days) and my left chest and jaw hurt. I know those are heart attack signs but I don't feel that crappy, just worse and worse. Hubby wants to go to ER and I want to go to bed. Thoughts?

My opinion--go to the ER. You have no idea what is causing these problems and neither do we.

Call your surgeon immediately AND go to the ER.

Thanks for all the support guys! I just got home and after lots of IV Fluid and few trips to radiology I feel a whole lot better. I will be fine, but the doctors LOVE to give you IV pain meds and then try to talk to you. Zero chance that I remember much more than 'scans look ok' and something about the phrenic nerve and the diaphragm and referred pain.

      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.
