Just bought my first D cup in about 20 years. Down from a 40DD to a 38D. I miss the girls.

My nutritionist and the PA at the surgeons office also ok'd me to drink regular coffee. To be honest though I can only stomach about half a cup in the am.

How exciting! I hope you can get some help with your little guy for the first couple of weeks. Let me know of you need anything. I'm not too far away :-)

Dimples In Stomach
Jen in SoCal replied to melb1976's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know exactly what you mean. About two weeks postop I has the most excruciating pain that felt like my muscle was ripping. They said it was because of the sutures inside. It took a good two weeks to go away but ice help a lot. -
Dimples In Stomach
Jen in SoCal replied to melb1976's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a really big dimple on my left incision site but it's gone now. I'm 13 weeks postop and I honestly can't tell you when it went away! I had forgotten about it until I just read your post. LOL One thing I can tell you that I've noticed is that as I've lost weight, my tummy has gotten smaller so my incision scars have gotten closer together. -
What Vitamins Are You Taking?
Jen in SoCal replied to JustFluffy's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
What is the omega chew and what is it for? -
I was told to stay away from it but I've eaten it on several occasions. No problems at all. If you're worried just eat the tops and stay away from the stringy stalks.

I have noticed a huge difference. No problems at all anymore! I also think it had a lot to do with the fact that I lived on caffeine before. It's made life so much better.

Removing Bandages
Jen in SoCal replied to elvislover's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They usually tell you to let steri strips (tape) fall off on their own. Like Americas_suiteheart said, just clean around them. -
My boyfriend is an excellent cook and it was delicious but I've been on the toilet for two days now! Ughhh!!! I feel like I want to die! Does anyone know if it's ok to take immodium? I have my 12 week follow up with the surgeon this afternoon but I need some relief now.

Haha thanks! That's very sweet of you!

I have to disagree with you. Throwing up is not normal. If you are throwing up you need to call the Dr. -

The only thing I know is we can no longer take NSAIDs, ie; aleve, ibuprofen, aspirin, because they can cause ulcers. Bad news for us arthritis sufferers. I'm having a hard time dealing with this. I'm not sure about antibiotics or anything else. Definitely a perfect question for your doctor.

10 Day Clear Liquid Diet
Jen in SoCal replied to cmbd's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The preop liquid diet is tough. I had headaches and was exhausted. You can get through it though! Just think of the prize at the end! I lost 15 pounds in my two week liquid preop and it was very motivating... Take pride in your willpower!
