So my surgery went great! Liver was a little large but not large enough to postpone surgery! I've had no nausea or anything. Just struggling to get the liquids down for fear of taking too much at a time! But I'll get there! What was your recovery timeline?!

Recovery time is all relative...

I was sleeved 4 December 2014.

Drinking Water "normally" like 1tablespoon sips, after 3 days post-op... My doc had me on liquids for like three days and since I was able to drink or sip okay, they moved me to pureed. It's a week I'm on soft food. My drinking sips are bigger too, not gulping Water but it's definitely not like the first two days of sipping.

My stomach still hurts on the right side, but it's random, like electric shocks, but the pain goes as quickly as it comes...

In terms of sleeping... I had to sleep on my bad for almost two weeks because it would hurt to sleep on my side. And it's about two days that I can sleep on my right side. Hurts to sleep on my stomach...

      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.
