Hi Nel!
Yes, when I first got home from surgery for the first 2 weeks I would be fuzzy headed. The main reason was dehydration. It can make you dizzy, fuzzy headed, weak, dry mouth etc. Just make sure you drink a lot of fluids at this point. I had a hard time keeping my balance for some time after surgery as well. It was the weirdest thing but it has gotten better. Good luck to you!!!

Hi Nel, Thank you for the message about my little doggie, no he has not been located and I miss him so. Did your fur baby turn up? He has been such a good companion, seeing me through an ugly divorce, building a house and a life-threatening illness. He just vanished that evening chasing the darn rabbits. Are you getting excited for your surgery? I'm excited for you!

I know I can't either. I preop Thursday . Getting anxious. Well wishes to you!!

Thanks! Where are you from in NY? I am from Long Island originally.

Hi, thanks so much for your kind words. As far as my toning.... I did a lot of elliptical in the beginning with some cable weights. Then I did 5 weeks of Insanity (6 days a week) and have just done cable weights and free weights ever since. Exercise really makes a huge difference.My skin's not great, but I can't imagine how bad it would be without it.

Cool. I go to the Port Jeff office too. I'm on Bicycle Path so it's only like 10 minutes away. Yeah people on here only have like a 3 day liquid diet. How can only 3 days shrink your liver?? I guess we'll get used to it. After surgery we'll be on liquids for a bit anyway so maybe it's a good idea to already be used to it. BTW ebay has the same protein powder that they sell for only $40/bag and it's 35 servings. Not as bad as $67!

Btw, where you from? I'm in Port Jefferson station

Awesome....I will totally let you know any info I find out...In his packet it says the liquid diet is 3 weeks. It's actually 2 weeks. The patient advocate sent me a copy of the pre op liquid diet and allowances. Not like 2 weeks is any less excruciating, but it's still better than 3!! Having a hard time finding protein powder with their guidelines. At least 20 grams of protein and less than 5 carbs. Not all protein powders fit this criteria. Of course the ones THEY sell do, but for $67/bag they can bite me! LOL thanks for writing and Keep in touch
