Nope, they said I looked pale when I came back from surgery. I think it was because I had trouble breathing because of where all the gas had settled. Then they said my blood count was low. I can get up to 1000 now on the incentive spirometer though.

I also have to start drinking my fluids the moment I get up or else I get busy and forget about it. Then before you know it, a few hours have passed!

Dang I feel like my surgery has failed already because I never feel full(I don't get hungry either though). I keep my water bottle on me and sip all day and easily get around 80 oz/day without ever getting a full feeling.

Are you able to start your Protein Shakes now? I had two of those a day and it really really helped with feeling full.

I have started my Protein drinks and I get 30-50 grams in right now. I'm not worried about feeling hungry. I'm just worried they made my pouch huge or something lol. I don't understand how others get uncomfortable when drinking Water, but I never do.

Hey guys!! Nervous wreck here. Monday I started to have foot pain, so Tuesday I saw the dr and thought it was gout, blood work done. By end of day swelling was huge. She thought I had a blood clot so went for a doppler this morning, got blood results which sed rate was sky high. Was called back to hospital for more test. Now I am waiting to go to specialist on Monday. They want me to take aspirin but only two days cause Friday is last day for blood thinners. Please say a little prayer that he is gonna release me for surgery on the 27th.

I feel the same way. I never feel full either, but I'm usually satisfied until my next meal. Sometimes I wonder if Im taking to much in. I'm 2 weeks out and I can easily eat a 5.3 ounce of Greek yogurt in one sitting. I've never had a problem taking in fluids, Proteins if many types of food so far. This is good but also scary. I don't want to eat more the I should!

The nurse told me before I left the hospital that it could take up to 3 days for a bowel movement. But it is unusually that you aren't passing gas.

      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.
