My surgery was April 3...doing pretty good. I am having a hard time getting the liquids and Protein in for the day. I have ran a low grade fever twice. I have been walking and trying to keep going.

I know how you feel I'm only 3 days post op and I have the issue having enough hours in a day to get the Protein Shakes they expect me too and the amount of Water too it's crazy my schedule is still out of whack so I'm still not making the 5 shakes per day and the 64oz of water specially if they take an hour at least each to get them down... It feels impossible.

My first appointment is tomorrow! The paperwork I got in the pre-op class outlined all my appointments going forward and my doc sees people 7-10 days out for the first time.

For gas pains I have substitutes hot Decaf tea for Water. It seems to help me with the gas. Also laying on your back hold your tummy like you do when you're pregnant and gently rock it back and forth, it moves the bubbles around! My gas pain is the worst in my left shoulder. Ice bags helped it a lot too! Hang in there. I am on my way home now. Surgery was 4/9 and I am anxious for my own bed. One spot of advice about pain meds, don't forget to take them! I tried to go without today and I felt crappy. Thanks for all of the warm thoughts and prayers!

Glad you have found ways to keep comfortable! The tips will help when I have surgery. I may seem wired, but I write these little tips down so I have them, cuz it would be hard going back through all these posts to find them! Best wishes to you!

This might sound a bit crazy but I'm 4 days post-op (April 8) and this new thing seems to be starting. I get the whole gas part and I haven't had much trouble with (pardon my straight forwardness) but burping and passing gas hasn't really been a problem ever since I started drinking the Protein Shakes but now I get these moments where pressure builds up almost as if I need to burp but it just build and the pressure starts to hurt and then all of a sudden I get like this hiccup that hurts throughout my stomach. I know I need to call the Doctors office but I have to wait until tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone out there has ever experienced the same thing and had any suggestions, I bought some GasX to try to help not sure if its working or not but I don't know what else to try for now.

      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.
