I am still taking the tylenol 3 but at 1/2 the dosage with longer intervals. I get sore after moving around so much but I am moving around like normal now. I am also on nystatin as I got thrush from the oral pain meds. Anyone else have this?

Haven't had any because I had a hiatal hernia repair but I would take some Prilosec. They don't want that acid irritating things. Even though I had a hernia repair I'm still prescribed the Prilosec for 30 days.

You know, I don't. I wish I'd asked! I guess, when it feels comfortable? I'm going to wait at least until I take the surgical tape off I think

Has anyone else named their new stomach? Mine is called Basil. He doesn't tolerate any nonsense and soon lets me know if he's not happy????

I'm close to your sleeve date....May 20th.....but sure could use a buddy!!!

how are you doing post-op would love to have a buddy
I'm now 5 days post op, got most of my liquids in today but noticing more gas at night. I'm still sleeping in a recliner, but having not a lot of trouble getting around, so will try and switch to the bed tomorrow.

Had an emotional outburst to my kids this evening (6 and 9) when they came running into our room for movie night with sunflower seeds and bags of popcorn, I said something about stepping on the feed bags and had to put myself in timeout in the other room. Then had to apologize to them for lashing out. Felt terrible. Keep on eye on those emotions y'all, I'm the normally calm and logical one in the family. I'm going to time out about for the next couple months...

. Great idea Rosie, I think right now my stomach name will be GuRP (gurgling unpleasant reactionary pot). It's name will improve when it treats me better..????

How is everyone doing 5 days post op?

New question: anyone still got their drains in place? If so, when are the coming out? Mines still there, had to change the bandage because it got wet, everything looks fine, but are supposed to continue to see drainage all the time or what? I'be got my follow up on Tuesday, I'm hoping it comes out then..

I never had a drain so can't help on this one sorry. I have 4 ports and I'm meant to take the dressings off tomorrow for good. For some reason that makes me nervous as if I drink something, Water will come pouring out of them all???? I really have too much time on my hands to think too much at the moment...

how are you doing Rosie? I'm fairly certain that if you take your dressings off and then drink a bottle of water in your garden you might pass as a sprinkler then if that true!!????

      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.
