I.had mine done on the 24th also. The dr called yesterday and when I told her i hadn't gone yet she told me to go get an enema immediately. They seemed like it was a really big deal to have not gone by now.

The pain right out of surgery for me was like a 7 out of 10. Don't quite remember what was given to me in recovery because I threw up like 5 times but when I got to the room and I told the nurse I needed pain medication it was given to me in my I V every 3 hours I don't really think I needed it I just wanted to sleep lol

I didn't use the painkillers much in the hospital, or at all when I went home. Pain was a function of what I was doing. Lying on my back, relaxed, I was reasonably comfortable right from the start. But getting in and out of bed sucked for the first two weeks During the third week, getting in and out of bed became more routine, and I began to be able to lie on my side without too much difficulty in bed.

I am now 4 weeks out, and I still don't feel "normal" (no discomfort at any time), but feeling pretty good. I started walking outside for exercise the second week, and just had my first visit to the gym yesterday. I hope to feel normal by 6 weeks.

So do you have cravings for junk food or does the sound of it make you nauseous? Are you only doing shakes/liquid or are you on mushy/solid food now?

@@FMoore2004 Keep holding on!

On my 4th day post-op I had multiple crying fits.

It's very frustrating! I had a lot of gas pain and nausea.

I'm now on 9th day post-op and feeling great (lost almost 20 lbs).

My tips:

- sleep well - your body needs rest to heal.

- Listen to your body, as Barry said.

- For me, drinking in really small sips while standing up gave my stomach "room".

- I froze cubes of natural sugar free juice. Best "popsicle" ever.

and finally: cry. let it all out.

A few days ago I felt like stabbing someone. If you need anything, IM me.

<3

lots os love

This too shall pass, butt don't panic if not for 7-10 days. I was starting to freak out after six days, but it all came out in the end.

      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.
