    Can Someone Help Me Please!

    You'll be fine, just follow the advice of the surgeon. "Don't clean or pick at the incisions until it heals". I learned my lesson.

    Can Someone Help Me Please!

    It happened to me once too. About 2 weeks out. I was cleaning the glue off and accidentally pulled the scab off. So I kept poking at it. And the next thing I knew I was having hot flashes and I felt nauseated to the point of throwing up and I was sweating and cold all at the same time. I had to get out the shower and lay down. After about ten min I felt fine, like it never happened. I think it was because the incision area is very sensitive and it put our nerves out of whack! It's never happened again only that one time.... Although I did stop touching the incisions.... Lol!

    Oct Sleevers

    You sound perfectly normal. I am 3 1/2 weeks post. But one week out I felt I was going crazy being stuck in the house, had no desire to eat or drink. They say it has to do with the anesthesia leaving your body and hormones. But just take it one day at a time. I slept with a bottle Water and had to set the alarm to remind me to eat. And taking mini walks outside helped a lot! Now I feel great and have mostly forgotten how yucky I felt the first week. Hang in there and just take one day at a time. And don't worry to much on hitting that 64oz a day liquid and Protein mark. I still struggle but everyday I get closer. Good luck!

As far as what i brougt to the hospital... lets see, just the clothes on my back and my phone. The hospital provided everything else, even my toothbrush.

    Oh good question! I'm wondering the same thing. I have a 1/4 sleeve on my upper arm. I was wondering if it will shrink down like a design on a ballon Or get all strange looking. Lol

    The Only Protein Drink I Can Tolerate

    I like the unflavored. 1 scoop has 21g of protien. I mix it with crystal light strawberry. I also put it in my Jello cups. It does change the color of the jello and crystal light. And with trail and error you can adjust The sweetness. But it's great to add a little more Protein during the day. The chocolate flavored shake is the only one a like. Mixed with skim milk its not bad. I really enjoy the chicken broth. And they have a few recipes for that as well that I haven't tried. Order the sample pack first, that helped me a lot. hope this helps.
