3 days out & doing great!



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited to be able to post on the post-op side of things!!! I spent one night in the hospital and then went home. Yesterday, my first full day at home, I drank 78oz of liquid, including 48mg of Protein. Truthfully, I was a bit scared to go home & be on my own but I truly worried for nothing. My doc told me to drink as much as I was comfortable with, so that's exactly what I did. He said that liquid couldn't stretch the sleeve. I do get a little gassy when I swallow, but that's normal & I don't even have to sip. It is difficult to drink without getting some air in, but its really not bad! I just pray that this continues without complication.

I feel so sorry for those who are having post-op problems. Hang in there...it'll be soooo worth it!!!

These pics are the morning of surgery. I can't wait to post after pics!!!

Good luck, all!!!

Isn't it fantastic! I also had no issues when I came home and haven't had problems with any food items as I've added them back. Best wishes for a continued smooth recovery ????

      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.
