I wore a binder as tight as I could for a few weeks after surgery then, bought a tank top type shape wear and wore that for a few weeks.

I'm pretty sure you could wear any kind of shape wear asap after surgery as long as it isn't hurting you.

Yup. I loved it all after surgery as it did help with pain and just made me feel better. I imagine once I get some more loose skin I'll go back to wearing some sort of shape wear. Right now it's just not needed. Plus I outgrew the 2 I had in the last 2 months. I'll wait until I reeeeeeally need em. :)

I've thought about getting Spanx, but they are so expensive... I think of that movie with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy when Melissa tries to make Sandra look sexy and cuts off her pants to find spanx because it "holds stuff in" :unsure:

so even Sandra Bullock has "stuff" LOL :P

      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.
