Well my surgery was yesterday (2/15). I woke up in excruciating pain, I found this odd because what I have read from everyone else that surgery wasn't that bad. Maybe I am just a big baby. I am finally home. I always heal better when I am home. Good luck everyone. I will fill in more information after I don't feel so loopy.

That is normal! I was in terrible pain for about three days . I could still walk and move around but my abdomen was in a lot of pain... Considering what goes on in surgery I think it's understandable. Good luck to you!

Everyone's tolerance for pain is different. I am someone who has had multiple spine surgeries so the bypass for me was just uncomfortable for a couple days.

It all depends on ones tolerance, how tired or sick you are before surgery. Pain can wear you down and then it's less tolerable.

Also hormones and all the changes make a difference too.

Thank you ladies for your feedback. The pain has somewhat subsided this evening. So I am doing better.

I had my surgery 1 week ago and I woke up in excruciating pain, too. But it was more gas like pain. I never had soreness from the actual surgery. It was the worst pain, too. It took the whole week, but I think it's mostly all gone. Hang in there.

      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.
