Sleeved on 7/11, home 7/13. Didn't really sleep much last night due to back sleeping all night (another topic) but when I decided to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom, my legs felt like I was recovering from a 50mile hike. I know I'm currently slightly hunched over due to the abdominal tightness which has me walking different, but has anyone else experienced this and what did you do to remedy the situation??

I figure it's either fatigue from being in a bed most/all week OR it was because I was walking through all the cute nurse's minds in the hospital! (lol... jk)

Are you legs swelling? If they are swelling I might be concerned about blood clots. I would call you dr to make sure everything is ok.

No swelling at all. Keeping mobile and walking a lot. I'm hoping it's just from not using them for the last few days other than for strolls around the hospital with my IV pole. Now that I'm home, I've been sure to walk for 5-10 minutes every hour to keep the blood pumping.

I had tightened behind one leg while in the hospital. They did an ultrasound and found nothing. It went away quickly. I would tell your surgeon just to be safe. May be nothing, but you want to rule out other possibilities so you can move forward without worrying.

      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.
