  1. My short term disability has been approved with 100% pay. Yeah. Currently I am scheduled to go back to work on Oct 31. I am 9 days postoperative and still can not get around much. Lots of lower back pain and incision pain. Bearable enough not to use pain meds if I don't move it doesn't hurt. Still trying to walk as much as I can. Increasing fitbit steps every day but haven't made it to 2000 yet, maybe today. Follow up with my dr tomorrow. I have lost 20 lbs since prep diet with 8 of those since surgery. Of course I weigh every day per dr orders and no change in the past 2 days. Not stressing yet still swollen.


  2. @ Brian T Po. I use to get that pain in the middle of my chest day 1. My dr said it was spasms not gas and gave me a script of dicyclomine witch I take 4 times a day and it doesn't happen anymore. each day's gets easier I am waiting for the surgery pain to go away. Feel better soon. Sounds like you are doing good on your Protein. Half is better than none


  3. 6 days post op and not sure if I am doing things wrong or if I am just lucky. I have no nausea I am on Clear Liquids still which means Isopure flavored water and broths. I am not hungry, but I can sit here and sip all day long. Never get a feeling of being full no gas pain. Getting in 64 oz of fluids and 60 Protein a day. Feel nervous since I don't feel restriction I could probably drink more if I wanted. I do have lower side near back pain and some from largest incision Just wondering if anyone else does not feel restriction. my post op dr apt is oct 24.


  4. My thought on cheating is if I can not do this 10 day liquid diet then I am not ready to have the procedure done. This is a tool and I don't want to go back to my old eating habits and regain weight. I am now on day 4 of liquid diet and I am surprised it has not been harder. I think my mindset is in the right place. I am the type of person that can't have just one bite or one cookie. So I just have to stay away. I don't think you messed up your prep but I would not let it happen again. Need to shrink that liver for easier surgery. Good luck
