wish you a smooth and speedy recovery! Just remember to walk and sip , walk and sip. That is what they drill into our heads at the classes my Surgeons group offers.

Thank you! That's what I've been doing. It's difficult to walk though. It feels like my stomach is pulling and it's very tender. Plus the gas is still getting to me and hurting my chest. I have to walk hunched over and hold my stomach when I walk.

Did the hospital give you the Bari bear? its a stuffed animal mine gave us so we can put over our stomach when we cough .. getup.. and even walk .. if not that is a okay.. use a firm pillow!
No they didn't, I've just been using a regular pillow for that. That's such a cute idea though! I'm walking every 2-4 hours a few laps around the house. I'm seeing that other people are already out shopping and feel fine again by day 5 and I'm not to that point yet at all so it sort of worried me. I know we all heal differently but...

Everyone is different! People i work with came back after 2 weeks and i'm over here thinking.." should i ask the doctor for another week?" I had my surgery on a Monday and went to run errands with my mom on that Saturday.. i was beat halfway through. Just do what you can and you will see this pain will go away.

I couldn't imagine getting in the car and going somewhere right now. My stomach is way too sensitive. Good luck on your journey!!

      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...

        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.
