Hi everyone. My surgery was Tuesday afternoon. I came home yesterday, but felt much worse yesterday. Allergic reaction to pain meds and couldn't sleep last night. Has anyone experienced the trouble sleeping? I can't wait till I feel human again and have some energy. Thanks for any advice.

Congratulations on making this brave decision to change your life. I haven't had mine done yet but, I heard the first week is the worst of it. Good luck :)

I am 6 weeks out of surgery and I too had trouble sleeping. It passes and by next week you should be much better. Hang in there...once I got off the pain meds, things got back to "normal" .. whatever that is. I think our bodies go through so much during surgery and then the meds etc. I found walking every 2 hours and drinking as much as possible helped with all that. I just kept saying "this too shall pass". Good luck to 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...

        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.
