Hey there. I'm six days post with six incisions. Not a pro on why yours hurt so much, but I do think everyone's pain will differ. My pain was bearable on my third day. I left the hospital after two days and haven't used pain meds since. Your theory sounds highly plausible. It wouldn't be a good idea to just sit around though...the more you walk around the more your body should get used to your new cuts. Good luck ^_^

I've heard that you might try a binder I don't know if it's too soon or not as I haven't had my surgery yet. Maybe someone can let us know.

Hi I made 1wk PostOp today!! Yes, the pain has subsided quite a bit. And yesssss Fat Pat no more I found that using a binder (wrap) decreases my pain immensely!! I began using the binder at end of surgery day and have used it everyday since!!

Went and got some ACE bandages and bound them. SOOO Much improvement. That is my only complaint so far. Hope it keeps going smooth. Good luck to you guys!

      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.
