Very positive post surgery experience 8 days out



Recommended Posts

After the initial confusion over a normal drainage tube issue, i feel pretty good. No real pain, able to walk normally, easy to take fluids with Protein. No gastritis even though I had gastritis pre-op. Just tiredness, so I rest between spurts of getting up and talking with house hosts, reading, some remote work with laptop.

I don't really have much hunger either, although I definitely get hungry after 10 days total on just fluids. I sm a little grouchier, but not a miserable mad dog like i imagined I'd be. No headaches or food withdrawals. Seeing the quick weight loss keeps you motivated.

All in all a lack of drama after the scarey surgery aspect. I am thinking that more people than not probably experience the same but you tend to see the harder cases on the forum?

It is a bit different. I remember first going on victoza i didnt want any food, whereas with surgery i still do but not nestly ss much. I was nauseas on victoza, then developed pretty bad gastritis due to delayed emptying victoza causes; eventually the drug lost its potency for me wnd i got hungry and couldnt lose weight.

My rndo thought it a good first try prior to pulling trigger on sleeve surgery.

Thanks for your answer! I had the same. First I didn't want any food, but now it just doesn't work anymore... It's bad, all medicines doesn't work anymore after a while... That's why I think I go for the surgery.

I think you can chest this surgery with liquidy sugary stuff, but. Dont really like sugary things that much, and i am self pay, and motivated with new found weightloss.

I have s friend eho gained s lot after 2 years by loading up on frappochinos and not excercising. I dont see myself doing that. I run occassional 5k races now. Went couch to 5k with a group who are lots of fun.

      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.
