I'm home recovering. Didn't sleep well at all. Feeling nausea and pain. Following the diet but it's hard. Have zero appetite and the gas pain stinks. Sip sip walk walk is hard to do. When will I start to feel normal again

Ah, if I had a dollar for every time i asked that question in my early days post-op. You really start to question if you will EVER feel normal again. The truth is, it gets better day-by-day, but I would say I wasn't really settled into my new normal until I was about 3-4 months post-op. By then I'd been back on solid foods and healed up enough to really have a handle on how much food I could safely eat without the "one bite too many" feeling and I had come to terms with not being able to turn to food for comfort anymore.

Hi. Congrats on ur surgery. Sorry to hear ur in pain. It gets better. Im 5 days post op sleeve. For me pain gradually subsided from day 5 into 6 waking up with no pain. Few things u need asap... gas x, stool softener, glycerin suppositories, metamucil/benefiber Fiber, bacitracin ointment, heavy lotion. Walk, it helps.

      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.
