So sorry, Rachel and Jessica. I hope you both feel better soon. Starting to get a little better for me. I even went to Walmart and held my baby today. Of course, now I'm all ready for pain med and a nap, but I'm still pretty pleased. I'm staying away from the scale as much as I can because I still feel so bloated. It's wired cooking for the kids and smelling pizza without eating any. At least I can honestly say that I'm not hungry. Just drinking the Protein is work. Getting closer and closer to a slimmer, leaner me. Yay!

So far today has been horrible. Got stuck in traffic (a gigantic motorcycle parade came from out of nowhere saw at least 500 + motorcycles!!!!) so what was a 10 minute ride home turned into a hour and n half of me sitting in a car crying trying to find a way to lay or sit to ease my pain. This burning/pain sensation is HELL. It's unlike anything I've ever felt. Gonna spend the rest of my Sunday in bed. :-(

That's the pain I've been talking about! It's debilitating!! I took a shower yesterday and had to lay down so my husband could clean and change my dressings. I thought I was gonna pass out from the pain. And what are you doing driving..lol.

Thanks, Sassy, before I get too big a head, I should admit that now I'm exhausted. I've pawned my son off on my wonderful step-daughters. My left side keeps getting the sharp pains you all are mentioning. Off to take a pain med and try to sleep away the hurtiness.

Home again and I made a discovery. My pouch likes warm fluids not ice. So drinking is getting easier sipping things warm.

Since I have been home the damn diarrhea has eased up thank god.

Glad you're doing better. I love the way Tomato Soup feels in my tummy. It's a little thicker and stays a little longer. Unjury makes a chicken broth Protein. I've got some samples but haven't tried it. Maybe you are on your way to recovery...

I wish I could have Tomato Soup. Not yet. My doctor only allows Clear Liquids for two weeks. I'm actually looking forward to fat free refried Beans. I'm so pleased you're home again, Rachel. And I hope diarrhea stays away. Ugg. We sure don't need extra gross stuff in addition to the super fun gas. I also think I got a UTI from the catheter. That's just great. Can't get too upset because I know it's actually been pretty smooth sailing for me so far. Goodnight to all, I hope you sleep well.

What do you eat with the refried Beans? Or do you just eat them plain?

I don't know for sure, yet. We'll see. I haven 't thoroughly investigated my short list of allowed foods for 4-6 weeks post op. Just the Beans will be nice at first. I hope cottage cheese is also on the list.

On another note. I can get in and out of bed way better than yesterday, but the odd sharp pains inside my belly are sure not fun.

Welllllllllllllll

Last night I went into a very rapid rate fib and am now in the hospital. I converted to sinus rhythm after 4 hours but they still admitted me. Should be discharged soon. My cardiologist changed my meds so I can take a small capsule instead of crushing the bp med which was hard to choke down. I also continue to have diarrhea but when I called to inform my surgeon they said they could not send the message until I was discharge ' date=' the hospitalist has to page them. I was like but they don't need to talk to them I do to consult about what's going on but thanks anyway.

Disclaimer: period question!

So yesterday night I randomly started bleeding. My cycle is the 15th. It is very heavy and I have gone through 3 super tampons. Anyone experience this?

      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.
