Well I had an avocado and two dilaudid. What a mistake. I feel so sick. My arthritis pain is awful , a 10+ on a 1-10 scale. It was so bad I contemplated going to the hospital. I had some dilaudid pills leftover from a previous surgery and was desperate for relief. I coupled it with my liquid extra strength tylenol and then felt calm and sleepy. Woke up in two hours in pain again. This time I took two pills- 4mg total. I don't know if it was the avocado and pill combination or just the pills? I go to the rheumatologist today at 12:30. I need a painkiller that will not hurt my new little stomach!!!! I just want to feel better, I do not know how people live with chronic pain. I regret not insisting on getter a stronger med at my one week follow up from surgery. I have been in arthritic pain since the surgery. The surgery seems like a walk in the park now. I am sorry for my rant. I hope this can help just one person who has pain issues so that they can have a serious plan of treatment before they have surgery.

I had my revision from the bad to the sleeve yesterday after a 3 1/2 hour delay. I'm so happy the band didn't cause to much damage so my dr could do the sleeve. I started waking 3 hours after getting to my room. Pain is not that bad just sore when I move or first get up. Sips of Water never tasted so good when I was finally able to have again. No issues with it either. Now I'm just looking forward to figuring out my new stomach. Good luck to the upcoming surgeries.

Sitting here on post-op day 1. Lots going through my mind, but very little going out or in my body. Feeling the immediate "what have I done" feeling a bit. So I found this forum to help get me through these first days. Anyone going through the same thing? Encouragement needed. Patrick

Hi Patrick, I am on day 8, days 1 - 3 were pretty tough for me, no complications thank goodness, but tough due to all the meds, sleeping in my lazyboy in the family room because laying flat in the bed was a "Nope!", difficulty getting fluids, etc. It can get to you, but with each walk and every sip it gets better, each day goes by and you feel more human! I drove my self to my 1 week appt, I went grocery shopping on Tuesday! It feels good to get outside and feel the sun (that is saying a lot here in the Pacific Northwest!).

Two mantras for you:

Walk, walk, walk!

Sip, sip, sip!

Hope you are feeling better soon!

      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.
