I had multiple BM's in the hospital. You should be having them by now for sure. Even if it is liquid..

I'm 5 months out and still have issues. Stool softeners every other day is how I'm dealing with it. If not it could be weeks.

My 1st was 1 week post op. I now have one once a week....maybe 2x...and it isn't much. Sometimes I feel like I need to but when I have tried MOM I still didn't get much of a result. I guess there just isn't a lot there. 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.
