I guess I am a slow healer. At this time (13 days VSG post op)

........................................

I can't lie down in my bed - still in recliner

I can't get all my liquids down. (About25oz)

I can't get all my Protein (about20g)

I still have pain in the center of my abdomen

I'm 52 and also had hernia surgery. I haven't went back to work yet.

Is this highly abnormal?

Everyone heals different, if you really have concerns talk to your doctor, it took me 3 weeks before I felt somewhat normal.

That is very low Fluid intake. Def. talk to your Doc. Might want to get some IV fluids, especially if you are ever dizzy. Your body will have trouble healing if it doesn't get the nourishment it needs.

Let us know how it goes!

      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...

        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.
