I wouldn't worry to much about that.. but what are you eating and how much? also.. exercise will help with that greatly!

The first day I ate like a half cup of potatoes (i've figure out that was bad) - and some cottage cheese! I'm a few days in to mushy now and haven't stepped back on the scale yet.. my DR told me to stay off of it for a bit haha- but I wanna know so bad-

Excited for you Patrick! I am on my 3rd day post op.. and I was expecting the worse, and was so surprised about how easy it was. I also had a hiatal hernia repair along with it. I told my surgeon before I went under, please do a good job! Surgeons really make a difference. Buy gasx, it helps. I started walkin inside my apt the day of surgery here and there, but take it very easy.. and rest rest. I will say a prayer for you and your speedy recovery! Keep up posted hun!

Thanks Fallon! I didn't get a breathing thing.. but the deep breaths I'll do that! didn't you get a hiatal hernia repair also? Didn't even know I had one but it makes sense because i'd have heartburn all the time and chest pains and was like ...geez what the hell is this!

I didn't even know I had a hiatal hernia. My surgeon said it was huge, but I was asymptomatc. I am glad you are doing better.

This is hubmacfan (I think that's my board name) posting for Laura. we both just got our bands. I went first and she was wheeled into the OR while I was in recovery.

She's still snoozing hard in recovery, and we're excited to begin our "new" lives!

Ready to change my life!

I am 6 days post surgery now, and honestly I am having trouble drinking or even starting my mushies as directed by my doc. I take a sip of Water and feel bloated. I walk a lot, actually am very mobile. I don't get it. Yesterday I felt so bad only water would go in (and not that much). I have no other pain whatsoever, but this bloating is getting concerned. Will I ever be able to eat something?? lol I still have energy, but don't know how long that will last without food or Protein.

anyone else have that problem?

Had my surgery yesterday, just got home from the hospital. It hurts to get in the bed, hurts to get out the bed... my belly just hurts! it feels so heavy, and when i walk it feels like all my stitches or whatever are going to bust! I read a post about an adominal binder, I'm going to try that.

Oh yea, HELLO LB FAM :rolleyes:

      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.
