Day after ❤️❤️❤️



Recommended Posts

Yesterday March 20th

was day of surgery ...went to the hospital at 5:30 ..surgery was at 8 ..took about 1 1/2 but I was really nauseated afterwards so they kept me until about 2:30 ...all in all it was great !

The gas though was no joke! I had it the worst in my chest ..nothing in the shoulders ..I walked a couple of times in the hospital and then at home as well so it helped ..I also took the GasX strips which were really helpful :)

I'm taking pain medicine because I'm still sore ..so I've been sleeping a lot (they make me super drowsy ) I have only three incisions :) ..I was most worried about my liver but there was no fat on it thankfully ( nice and purple! ) lol

I'm having some mucus this morning and am drinking a lot of Water in small doses so I'm sure it'll go away eventually :)

Anyway,just wanted to give a little update ..now that I'm finally on "the other side " ...I will be doing updates every couple of days or so for all of you newbies ????

Welcome to your new life!! Walk walk walk and karate chops from a friend on your neck and shoulders help the gas pain a lot!

Congrats! My surgery was the 18th and other than the gas pain, things are going great. No need for pain meds. I'm having a little trouble sleeping, but u think it's because of the gas. I can't wait for my first post op appointment next week too!

      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.
