Day 8- feel worse not better!



Recommended Posts

Every day since surgery I've felt a little better. Today is my post-op visit to get my staples out and I am soo ready for that. But I have been having some god-awful pain in my lower back on the left side. Yesterday had to resort back to my pain meds it was so bad. This morning its still killing me, I am completely nauseous and generally feel like crap! So now I'm laying on the heating pad, sipping a Vitamin Water and hoping I can sleep a few more hours before I have to drag myself to my appointment. I feel like I've taken 3 steps backward. :(

I have no useful advice but just wanted to send you a virtual hug and hope that they can figure out why you are having that pain during your visit today.

Why do you have staples? Does everyone has to have staples

It depends on the doctor. Some use a super-strength glue. We didn't have staples.

I did not have staples. Ask your surgeon.

      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.
