Oh dear...hope they get it all figured out soon and you start feeling better

I had 3 drains..all I can say is I was glad they had 3 nurses to pull them all out at the same time not do much painful...strange tho lol

Really helps to wear a tshirt our camisole under the binder

Damn...hope you feel better..WAs this after your appt?

That's great!

My stitches were removed yesterday after 2 Weeks and now just have butterfly bandages...I'm a little more sore today...8 incisions in all..how incisions for just a standard gastric bypass?

Good luck Vicki! Will be thinking of you!

Hehe, nearest Starbucks for me is 100 miles! You're so lucky

Ok..thanks maybe adding sugar free jello would work too

Thanks! I'm gonna have to look for that!

Shoot...i just checked it....thanks for your help...ok water you'll have to do!

I went for my 2 week post op yesterday was only down 10 lbs...was really hoping for more but I guess I need more patience

I didnt do puree foods..went from full liquid to soft foods today such as eggs, cottage cheese, soft canned fruit or bananas, canned chicken or tuna, fish, cheese.....what I don't get is why does it have to be canned chicken? Why not fresh? The canned is so dry!

Worm,idk...I've just moved to stage 3 diet today..with traveling for Dr appt my meals were delayed so tonight I did find a combo that gave me write a bit of protein at once....i had an egg which was 6g and half cup of refried Beans 8g and a slice of cheese with the beans 8g....although I could quite finish the beans,i thought it was pretty good intake for 1 meal! I guess it's going to take a whole lot of planning to figure this all out! I was just happy to have some food today!

Hang in there..at least you're at the hospital where they can help you....I've has several transfusions due to cancer and I always felt Much better after getting one..i sure hope you're on your way to recovery

Hi Amanda, I'm in central MN...just had my surgery Nov 20

Well going thru all this is an emotional event..for man or woman..there is no shame in tears..but to answer the question, yes I've been a bit emotional but I don't really have a good support system. I think being in the hospital wears on a person

Hang in there...it's rough at first but in a few days you'll be feeling better everyday...sending some prayers for you..

Well I'm 49..had surgery Nov 20th...I'm definitely looking forward to some new beginnings

Wow that's great!
