I feel like I am dying! =/



Recommended Posts

I have been in pain since I had the surgery last Wednesday, that has not stopped. Today I have had diarrhea for most of the day. Is it dumping? I have no idea. I have had a Protein Drink today, some Water, and some sf pudding.< /p>

I am afraid to drink anything to take my seizure medication that it will just go right through me.

I do not know what to do with myself in all honesty...

Are you using milk or anything with lactose? It's super common to become lactose intolerant after the surgery...I did. Switched to lactose free milk and it stopped. Took a day to get out of my system. I also was using carnation sugar free instant Breakfast and it had lactose.

My pain stopped after I stopped eating anything with lactose!

If it gets too bad call Dr. Halmi. They have a on call physician. I had the diarrhea too. They said you can you Imodium if too bad and I think Kaopectate. I pray you get better soon!

My Dr does not allow pudding or dairy at this point. I would stop eating that and just stick with the Protein Drinks and Water for now

Thanks everyone for your advice. They never told me not to have dairy at all. They even said I could have the sf pudding.I will stay away from it I guess.

I did have creamed Soup the other day made with 1% milk and I did fine.

My doctor also didn't limit dairy but I use almond milk to make my shakes because drinking just straight milk will make my stomach bloat up like I'm pregnant and hurt like crazy. This was a problem before surgery, too. I can still eat yogurt and puddings, etc. even if they are real milk.

You said you are in pain -- what kind of pain? Just pain from the surgery? Food's not sitting right? Pain when you swallow?

Diarrhea is not too uncommon either -- especially when you're on a liquid diet. Unfortunately I had the opposite. I think it's about a 50/50 shot which one you'll get. But, I would go ahead and take your meds even if you feel they will pass right through. You don't want to be skipping the important ones.

Hope you feel better soon.

My incisions are and have been hurting pretty bad, and even places where there are no incisions. It feels like my insides are ripping apart.

I had a lot of the gas left over from surgery and it still is not all gone.

I have also eaten yogurt and did not have a problem with the dairy...... I guess one of these days I will get to feeling half better.

My follow up with the surgeon is tomorrow...

      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.
