Anyone having surgery in Oct ?



Recommended Posts

The nurses taught me how to brace my belly with a firm pillow as you turn and get up. Really helps.

Okay everyone, I have a question. I am 3 weeks post op tomorrow and sometimes when I move or turn over in bed my incisions feel like they are pulling. It is not really painful nut definitely not comfortable. Is anyone else feeling this and when does it start to go away? Also at the end of a more active day, my incisions feel a little achy.

I was getting the pulling sensation maybe 4 or 5 days post op I'm 3 weeks post op today and haven't had the pulling sensation in 2 day. I think it may be the way we get up. My incisions got achy after a productive day I think it's from all the movement.

I had this, too... As with sylviaflowers, it went away and I have not felt it in a while, but took about 3 weeks...

I just got home from surgery. Can only take two sips at a time. The third causes great tightness and pain.

Still shocked that I had that courage to get this sleeve. Went shockingly well but feels like I've been punched.

Hello October family, congrats to you all! A quick update to share my journey. I'm still only getting in one Protein Shake a day, I seem to have a mild intolerance to dairy (I can handle a little but there's a point if I have too much- ouch! Ouch! Ouch!), I seem to bounce between diarrhea and Constipation (which is super fun) and I'm tired of sip sip sip and drinking my meals. My one incision is a bit infected but I'm cleaning it regularly and taking it easy.

AND since starting Optifast pre-op shakes on September 28th, I have lost 30 lbs as of today. And for that I'm in shock and awe and so flipping happy that I'll sip sip sip, avoid dairy, and drink my meals like a champion! And eventually I'll conquer even those nasty Protein shakes! Lol

I just turned 3 weeks yesterday. I still have that sometimes. It's not super painful, but you can tell it is tender.

I've been moody today too. Just cry you might feel better. I just try to remember the emotions are going to pass and later or tomorrow will be a new day to start fresh. Everyday is going to be different and we are going to have some hard days mine was yesterday I was so moody and mean but I had reason I hadn't eaten anything in 8 hours. Just know you're not alone! Hope later is better

      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.
