@@jfer, do they know what caused the swelling? Was it related to the surgery? It seems strange.......I've heard of it happening after a mastectomy when they remove the lymph glands under the arm. But this surgery shouldn't have done it. Anyway, glad you are doing better! It's enough to get used to your new stomach without having additional problems like you have. Hang in there!

I had my surgery on August 6 now is 17 days and I feel good my abdominal pain is almost disappearing, no nauseas, no vomiting eating tuna, 1% milk, crystal light, Atkins shakes, diet Jell-O, Soups. No headaches, sipping Water the whole day. Good luck in ur journey.

were you able to have 60 grams of Proteins the first couple of days ? I can only drink one shake with 30g of proteins waft about water intake I can only have 50 0z..

To tell you the true I just start with the Protein l,doctor told me second week but this is my 3rd with and I just started feeling good this week I'll be drinking 3 shakes a day.

Hi @@Dawn306 , they don't know what caused it. I had a feeling it was from 1 of the meds they gave me and they've given me so many of them I couldn't figure out which one. When I had my hysterectomy it happened the same thing when I took oxycodone. So I just didn't take any pain meds they prescribe, I just use ice bag.Right now trying hard on drinking liquids, I am having a hard time reaching the requirement. Just walking around the house instead outside because I am afraid to get more dehydrated in the heat. Thank you again for checking.

Hi, I'm pre op I'm on the final two days of the pre op diet. But I heard a tip, measure your Water out in a measuring cup then using a shot glass drink it one shot at a time through out the day.

I've been using Isopure unflavored Protein, 1 scoop with 20 oz of water and 6-8 squirts of crystal light. I've found that anything lemonade kills the protein taste, blackberry lemonade, etc, also blueberry raspberry. Maybe this could help you. Good luck!

      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.
