Lots of pillows to sleep in a reclined position

Microwave heating things for my shoulders and neck with gas pain

My roommate and mom to heat stuff, get me Water, etc

A tv tray that I moved beside my bed to keep all the remotes, my cell phone, and drink on

Slimfast and ensure Protein Drinks, skim milk to water it all down

By far my best friend was the heating pad. I brought it to the hospital with me and to this day, use it :thumbup: So comforting on a sore tummy and now it helps when I have gas pain, but that might be TMI. LOL

what I used most of all for the first 3 days and nights was my recliner, a heating pad, and a pillow :thumbup:
I gotta agree, Recliner, heating pad and pillow were VERY important. I would have gotton no sleep for days without them.

broth and a pill cutter also.

I had my house so organised and clean, that I have had no guilt at all to lay around doing NOTHING for several days.

I have been grateful I bought some V8 vegetable juice - heated up in the microwave with some pepper - the broth is starting to make me feel a little sick.

Some unsweetened cocoa with warm milk of a night before bed has been very soothing.

Oh, and lovely boyfriend calling in to see me every night, doing any chores, but going home to his own house so I can get rid of the gas without holding back :-)

      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.
