so I had my surgery yesterday on august 4th, its not that bad. no gas pains in my chest. the incisions don't hurt too bad. what is killing me is my lower stomach. I am having cramps like no tomorrow. i dont even get cramps with my period. I think i just need to poop because i havent in two days. i have taken two ducolax and still have not yet pooped. help me. im in sooo much pain and the hydrocodone does not help these cramps...

Sorry to say but narcotic painkillers contribute to Constipation. Prune juice. Hope you're feeling better soon.

The cramps may be just Constipation. For me, today is POO ALL THE THINGS day. Gross, I know. However .. after so many days of being constipated and being on a liquid diet this whole time .... it's bound to happen when the cork pops so to speak.

I was constipated for 4 days post op. That's not an issue anymore. The lower belly is still tender though. I'm hoping that as healing continues, this will include the way my lower belly feels. The good news is ... I've lost a whole pound since I woke up this morning.

      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.
