Hi Heather,

Thanks for asking!

I got home yesterday. Surgery went well, but have 'scoline' pains as a side effect from the anaesthetic. EVERY muscle in my body hurts like I've climbed 20 mountains and done workouts at the top of each one. I have been told to expect them to last 2-3 days, so hopefully they'll be gone by tomorrow night or the next day. It's making it impossible to get in or out of bed, or to turn to get toilet paper etc. My husband has had to look after me beyond the call of duty!

I very nearly chickened out of the surgery at the last minute, but I think I'm happy I've done it now. Time will tell!

I told my parents and sister last night, and they were great about it. Such a huge relief!

My kids are wondering what on earth is going on, especially seeing me eat sloppy food with a teaspoon.

Thanks again for asking about me! I just haven't made it to my computer 'til now.

Early x

I was happy to see that you found Heather's shout out to you!

Glad to hear you did fine. Hang in there. The first few days are the roughest and then it gets better and better!

Let us know how you are doing when you are feeling up to it. We miss you around here!:lol:

Hey early! I was in on the 22nd too. I'm hoping tonight I'll turn the corner as I've been up every night for pain meds. I still have to get DH to help me up and down...sore! Here's hoping tomorrow is better for you!

I hope you're feeling better every day! I was worried about you since you said you didn't tell anyone. I'm so glad your family was supportive. That makes the journey that much easier.

Walking, heating pad and massaging my stomach helped me get the dreaded gas moving. My God was it painful! I was so excited to feel normal again.

      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.
