Thanks so much for the well wishes! I finally returned home around 3:30. I don't feel too bad,just very sore! The only thing that concerns me is that I am able to drink more than I thought I would (about 4oz). That kinda worries me. Is that normal?

Everyone's restriction on the day of surgery is different. I understand that as women, we tend to have less restriction right after surgery. I can't remember why, but you are probably ok. If you are really concerned, call you doctor's office and ask. I hope you feel better soon!

Yay, Becky!

Definately call your Doc about your restriction (or lack thereof), get lots of rest, and let the rest of us know how you are doing...

Hopefully I'll be joining you shortly! :smile:

      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.
