Had a good dinner. Had some turkey. Had some French green beans. Some mashed potatoes. Some sugar free strawberry jello with pineapple and cream cheese. I really wanted some stuffing. I am 3 weeks out and had such a tiny amount of food but it was good!

I know I can't drink crystal light so far. It didn't agree with me at all! I am 3 weeks POST.

For me getting out of bed. My bed is lower. My belly was sore. And even 3 weeks later it is still sore because I slept on my side. My doctor said that there is a muscle deep down that they cut into that will cause extra soreness. I wish my bed was higher!!!

i tried the jeans any it is too tight at the front of my belly where i have two of the biggest incisions, so i didn't do it. that was last week so i will try them on again tomorrow.

how soon will I be able to start eating shrimp and crap meat. I am trying to figure out foods for the holidays that myself and others can eat? my surgery was nov 2nd. I am starting soft food in about a week or so. will this be safe to eat nearer to Christmas.

I took from nov 1st to nov 25th. I got back on the 26th.

I had my surgery on November 2nd.

they pretty much asked my about my life. who I have for support for my surgery. the people in my life that I told and didn't tell and why I didn't tell them. asked about my previous diets and weight loss. working out. how my diet is going. I have never seen anyone like this before and I hate talking to people. it went very well. I don't know what would make you fail.

I have not been out since my surgery besides the food store and the doctors. I finally got my eyebrows done yesterday. felt great. getting my hair trimmed up and colored tomorrow. I haven't worn jeans since my surgery (nov 2nd). I would love to put on a pair and feel good and dress myself up for thanksgiving but I'm afraid of my messing up my my cuts. lol.

I talked to my doctors today and they said that was normal. When they cut into you there is a muscle deep down that will be a pain to heal!

So I have been sleeping on my back so my belly would heal. Last night I slept on my side. Today now I have a soreness on my left side by my belly button sorta. Is that normal? Like my muscle pulling or something. I have my first follow up appointment since my surgery tomorrow but I just wanted to see if anyone knew why this is happening. My surgery was November 2nd 2012!

That's awesome! I am waiting for my bill! I am so afraid! What insurance do u have?

My doctor appointment today went really well! Everything is healing very well. Doctor said that I should be able to start soft food in about a week and a half or so. Just slowly move into it. Just in time to go back to work on Monday!

i was baking some chocolate chip Cookies and tried a chocolate chip. I just let it melt in my mouth. I had not problems at all.

The thing that helped the gas go away for me is walking! If I didn't walk it would get bad. Ever since I started to walk it is now gone! Surgery date 11-2-12.

I found out that my arrival time for my surgery tomorrow is 12:45pm. I am on a clear liquid diet today. I am so hungry. I have had soup broth and jello today! I am so hungry. This sucks!

I have my first appointment with my surgeon since my surgery tomorrow! I hope that they say that everything is good. When I was in the hospital last week the doctors allowed me to start puréed foods early. I should have started tomorrow. I got approval from one of the other doctors since my surgeon was out of town. That doctor works with her, but I just hope that didn't mess anything up! I did tell her when she checked up with my last Monday when I was still in the hospital but who know. I hope I can start soft food soon!

Does anyone have any good recipes for the upcoming holidays. I am only 2 and a half weeks POST OPP. So I would love to be able to make something that I can have for the holidays that my family would also enjoy!

I have 4 boxes of 10. I am just going to give them to my mom. Lol. I tried the propel in the packets to and I didn't like them much either.

I had crystal light today for the first time since my surgery. I had the raspberry lemonade flavor. I had maybe 1/4 the bottle and then I started to get really hot and my stomach started to bother me and I had to run to the bathroom. What happened? Was sugar free. My surgery was nov 2nd 2012.

My mom said that it may be the citrus in it. I used to love crystal light raspberry lemonade. I hope I will again some day.

I was drinking slowly. Just no idea why.
