Hi everyone... Just want to give a brief update!!

Had my surgery on Monday 2/3. No complications and doing well (fingers crossed that this continues!!)

I have general soreness in my belly like I dos too many crunches and its hard to get up from lying down or from sotting in a chair but it is getting better every day. In fact, since I left the hospital yesterday afternoon, i haven't tale any pain meds... Just gas x.

Biggest challenges right now:

GAS pains

Fluids

For me, the gas was the worst part of surgery. As soon as I woke up in recovery i had immense gas pressure in my left shoulder and across mu clavicle. Because of this and a hiatal hernia fix deep breaths that really expand my chest hurt... Using the incentive spirometer they gave me. Gas x strips seem to be helping a bit.

Gas pains are making it hard to take on fluids. I should be getting 30 oz a day (through the little medicine cups... Yesterday which was post op day 2 i managed to get in 18 oz, mainly of gatorade g2,

Because of the gas, everytime i take a sip or swallow, i have to let out a burp. If the burp doesn't come right away i have a strong pressure

In my chest. Its taking me 3-4 sips to get the 1 oz cup down with burps in between. Hope this gas goes away soon!

I cam home with an on-q pain pump and that may be why I have avoided pain meds at home. I have been diligent about walking every few hours, even in the middle of the night! I am not a back sleeper usually so nights are not comfortable since It hurts if i try to turn to my side. That coupled with gas pains the shoulder = not much sleep . Poor hubby to keep waking up at night to rub my bqck or shoulders.

I cant wait for this part of recovery to be over!!!

      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.
