Hello, I'm glad your surgery went well. What are high keyones? So you only took a week off work and you feel completely healed or your still a little sore? I don't have my surgery date yet but I was thinking of getting a week off work, but wasn't sure if that was enough time.

Hi Mia, my surgery went great, as you see in my previous post. I never had pain. If anything I describe it as having your gallbladder removed no pain just tender around belly button area. I dd take pain meds in hosp as scheduled whether I needed them or not. I slept, peed, walked. Over &over. It went really well for me. Off pain meds since 2/21. I work as a clinical research coordinator so desk work. Gook luck.

Isn't that pushing it? My surgeon recommends a month off for healing. He says ill feel like returning but my insides need to heal. Be careful all you who plan on limited time off. You've had major reworking of your innards!!

Would the WLS and a c-section be considered the same? Both of them has to do with your insides needing healing.

Hi ladies still doing well. Yes I guess you could it's pushing it but I kinda had no choice. I work in a 2person office and my counter partner had an out of town trip planned so I had to gt back. It was a good thing I didn't have any complications. Huh. Then she was supposed to be back today and her son ended up having an appendicitis out of town. So he will n hospital till Wednesday. So I'm flying sole. Believe me I am there sitting behind a desk only. I will not over do it or hurt myself. I love me too much. Lol

      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.
