Hey everyone! I'm two days post op and I'm a loser now! Yayy! They found a small umbilical hernia and they gave that a few tiny stitches to rectify that once they were doing my sleeve.

In some pain but I stay on top of my painkillers. I'm up walking a bunch, going to the bathroom and finally able to continue sipping my Water. Just had my first sip of Protein Shake and boy have my taste buds changed!

I will be completely honest I woke up from surgery saying to myself "what the hell have you done to yourself" and I can't believe I had to do this but those feelings quickly went away when I started thinking of my new life and being around for my family ❤️

Hi BigJohn58!

I went in at 9:45am and had my surgery around 1:30-2pm (surgeon had an issue with the person ahead of me). I was in recovery for about an hour and then I stayed the night and was told I could leave the next day as long as my liquids were staying down. I'm not going to lie, I did think about one more night in the hospital but I knew I would heal much better being home. So I came home around 5:30pm the day after surgery :)

Congrats!! I remember wondering what I had done to myself. It went away quickly as the pounds started melting off. ;)

      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.
