Stupid iPhone. Anyway I know I'm getting better, but my pouch is noisy and the shoulder pain won't go away and every time I take a pill it's like dropping a brick in my pouch. Then I have to go lie down. How long til I can expect it to stop hurting like a mo fo?

I'm 6 days post op and find that every day I feel just a little bit better. I actually felt worse on days 2 and 3 due to increased swelling post surgery. But on day 4 the swelling started to go down. I'm still in some pain on day 6 and for that reason am proactively taking pain medication, not just waiting for pain to set in. I find it very hard to move around - got get up/out of the bed or a chair. All movements have to be very slow. Other than that, I seem to be okay. I'm assuming that this soreness will decrease every day.

Im 8 months post op and believe me it does get better with each day, I proimise :) I had surgery on a Monday and was back to work the following monday. I am a big baby when it comes to pain.... I can't handle any pain what so ever. The only thing that lasted a bit longer was the shoulder pain which was from the gas. But once you get moving around and take lots of walks you feel better.

Thanks all. I had a terrified moment this evening when I ate 2 bites of banana. Baby tummy was not impressed, it spiked pain. I don't think it was dumping, but it knocked me down.

      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.
