My advice is to walk as much as possible because you need to get the excess gas out and walking is the best way. Also, it is important to know that for a lot of people the amount of nausea in the beginning is directly related to the amount of pain meds you need. If you need the pain meds by all means take them but make sure they are following them up with an ant nausea med like Zofran. Good Luck, enjoy the journey it's not always easy but it gets better as time goes by, stay positive.

      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.
