Recommended Posts

4 days post op. I'm doing better each day. Showering is harder than I expected. Walking is easier than I expected. I took the binder off today to let my incision sites breathe. Having a hard time really sleeping at night as I so badly want to roll on my stomach to get comfy like normal and that us obviously not happening. Anyone else have that issue?

I am 20 days post op and just took a nap on my tummy for the first time. So much better! I had a hard time the first two weeks because I couldn't even lay on my side. It gets better!!

I've read that it is easiest to sleep in a recliner for the first week or 2. I am shopping this weekend for a new livingroom set with a recliner.

Yeah I've been sleeping in one. But it's so hard to stay comfortable in one I go back and forth just to change positions but getting sound sleep is something I haven't quite gotten since the surgery I'm staying positive that it will get more comfortable!

      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.
