1 week post op



Recommended Posts

well, it’s been one week,

I went to my Back doctor, because I had spinal stenosis in the lower back for about three years,

Tried having surgery, but I couldn’t because when I went into the operating room, when they flipped me over, I stopped breathing, so the operation was canceled,

All I could do was walk about 100 feet then my back would hurt so bad, I would halve to sit down, I also couldn’t stand longer than 10 minutes at a time. Because of the pain,

I also had arthritis pain in my knees, hips lower and upper back, I was a mess.

Had my surgery, and yes it hurt, and yes, I had to change,

I went to my back doctor, and he said I lost 24 pounds. I said wow.

The first thing I noticed was my ankles, they weren’t swollen anymore. They looked kind of skinny,

My back pain stated to go away, my arthritis pain went away,

I showered yesterday and dropped my sock and I just reached down and picked it up, haven’t done that in a while. Rechecked today and yes, I have no problem picking up items off the floor.

Went to the store, and walked around the whole time, feet are tired, but my back doesn’t hurt at all.

After all this after one week, what’s to come in the future.

      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.
