Day 4 since my surgery



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Tuesday 8/30/11

and I got to say I had so much pain afterwards. I have a bad back and think that was the reason for my pain being a constant 10! Don't get me wrong it was worth it but OMG I did not think I would be that uncomfortable. The hospital and my surgeon were the best and did everything to help my pain. I came home on day 3 but I should have stayed 1 more day. It was very hard to get up from my bed without the trapeze bar they had over my bed . But as of now I am feeling so much better. As for being hungry, I'm not :-) The Protein drinks fill me up so fast and I am making sure to drink my

64oz minimum Fluid.

Since I went in the hospital 8/30/11 I have not taken or needed my diabetes medication !!!! My sugar has not gone over 130. That is a God sent to me.

I also got on the scale and already have lost 8 lbs. I am so excited to start this new life .

I'm glad you're feeling better today! My surgery's coming up fast and I'm beginning to get so nervous! So day 4 is a better day? Just hold on until then?

Thanks , it's great to be a looser :-)

As a matter of fact today is day 5 and I just got on the scale and I am down 11 lbs !

It would normally take me 3-4 months to loose 11 lbs.

And yes I am starting to feel better.

Thanks for the encouragement :-)

My pain was more than I had expected and I also had back pain due to the uncomfortable hospital beds. I found it impossible to sleep on either side until I had the drain removed and I think the fact that I could only sleep on my back contributed to my pain. All better now though and I can actually sleep on my stomache which I have not done in a long time.

      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...

        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.
