Doing ok so far. Had some problems with diarrhea for about two to three weeks. Why? No idea. It went away eventually. Regarding going to the potty I'm still not used to the lighter color of the bowel movements though.

Energy seems to be coming back slowly.

So month 4 and I am down 60lbs! Unfortunately I now need to get my gallbladder out. Seems I can't catch a break! Although skinny is feeling sooo good! How is everyone else doing?

It's been a while since I've been on here. I hear the gallbladder giving you trouble after was is common. Did you doc put you on gallbladder medication immediately after surgery?

I'm doing great!!! I love to shop now....it's just an unbelievable feeling to put on cloths and still need comfortable. I'm down 55 since surgery. I have tons of energy.

Still so tired? I'm sad about that. I'm sure they have checked your blood work and you're still sticking to your Protein intake. Are you possibly just simply not getting to bed early enough? Do you have sleep apnea?

Wait, WHAT???? 88 lbs???? That's fantastic!!! I bet your cloths are falling off.

I'm envious. I still feel pretty beaten after work and getting up in the morning is always a hassle.

How is cottage cheese or eggs tasting to you?

I just bought a bag of boneless frozen teriyaki chicken thighs from Sam's that are just delicious

Damn, I'm noticing some reflux again... By far not as bad as it was before surgery but still.

I had my follow-up appointment on Monday and told the team. They said I should find out if the reflux is triggered by certain behavior since it's not bothering me every day (e. g. eating too late or certain foods) and then to make an appointment for a gastroscopy to take a look at things. Since I also had hernia repair there might be a problem with that again.

I have to admit I'm quite a bit scared and I'm thinking about possible catastrophes a good deal since a few days. (Yes, admittedly I'm one of these people who can catastrophize things up to esophageal cancer.) Dammit...

      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.
