Hi guys!! My surgery was yesterday. It went great! I was pretty nauseated from the anesthesia until they tried compazine. It took the nausea away until the anesthesia wore off. My pain wasn't bad. I got up and walked twice. Today has been even better then yestersay. Pain Is minimal today about a 3 but im due for mkre.meda in an hr and 20 min. Pain for both days felt like I worked my stomach muscles out really hard workout.

I have been able to drink liquids 2 half ounces every 15 minutes. And I'm set to go home today! This has been great. I've taken 3 walks so far today since 6a. And have 5 more.to go.

Today is my first full day home. I was very happy to have gone home yesterday. I only spent one night in the hospital. Yesterday when discharged they gave me a liquid form of pain med similar to vicodin. It wasn't nearly as strong enough burdens to be working a lot more.today so far. On your way home I suggest you use the belly band they give you. I am glad I did the roads where I live are bumpy and the band helped hold me in more.

I was still full of gas and hands some burps no fluffed yet. Those came this morning and man it feela better once that extra air from the surgery goes away little by little. It reduces the pressure in the collar bones.

Overall my energy levels are great I already went on a 15min walk this morning. Today pain isnt ss much as the day before so each day seems to be getting better!

Make sure to do your incentive spirometer like they tell you and the walking! Helps prevent pneumonia and walking helps prevent blood clots.

My incisions look great, I didn't need any drainage tube and she used surgical glue to close them up.

Fyi when passing gas try to be near a toilet some are loose.

Glad to hear your home and doing well. You do have to be careful of the gas. I've had a few surprises.

      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.
