I am 4 weeks out and find myself craving a cigarrette because that's the next best thing, however I gave that up too. I need a new vice. I was thinking working out would be a healthy vice to vent frustrations, but i can't really exert myself this early post op. I've just been swimming and walking when I'm stressed.

I'm a week and a day out. I went back to went back to work the Monday before my week anniversary and that was the best thing I could have done. I go to the mall and look at what I like and what I'll be able to fit . I also am a salt Water aquarium hobbiest and I've gotten back into that. I spend time with the kids in fact me and my daughter just got back from walking in the neighborhood. Just keep as busy a possible . Best of luck to you .

I used the Ecig for the first week and then was ok, however after surgery it has been difficult because for me it's the hand to mouth motion (I suppose the reason I became heavy). I just try and work past the cravings and when it becomes overwhelming I grab a lolly pop :-). Hang in there! I hear chantix works great.

      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.
