It is wonderful that we learn to appreciate the little things in life after the sleeve :)

Had surgery 6 days ago and really haven't been in much pain since day 2 or 3. Is that normal?

I had no pain with my surgery.. Just a general soreness in my abdomen.. Like doing about 500 crunches.. My sleeve surgery was my first surgery ever and honestly.. it was a piece of cake and my 3 tiny scars have completely faded!! :)

I had to have my gall bladder removed 9 months after my sleeve surgery and I was definitely in pain after that one!! OUCH!!!!

I was also a belly sleeper so last night was great. Also first night I slept with c pap since day before surgery. Wonder if that has anything to do with it?

It's so interesting to read the differences in pain level with this surgery. I'm 2 weeks post op today and still have pain on my lower right side. My incision there looks great and isn't sore, it's a deep down inside pain. I still can't sleep on my side and haven't even attempted my stomach. I also can't stand pants on my waist....either have to fold them down or wear a dress. My energy is zip! This has been a tough surgery for me for some reason.

I had a very easy recovery from gallbladder surgery, Lapband, and hysterectomy. Go figure!

      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.
