I know it's only one month, but I was excited! Lol -
Yea I had same thing! 6 holes with the drain tube... But no staples.... Just some terry strips which half of em fell of before my 2 wk appt anyway! And 3 stitches where the big incision was.... And that's it! So happy no staples for me !

I am 3 1/2 weeks out.... I was laparoscopic and I didn't have any staples... Just terry strips over my incisions, and a couple stitches where the bigger incision was. I'm pain free now, I can even sleep on my stomach again still not 100% get a little tired easier than before. But since I've added actual food back to my diet I feel sooo much better!!!!

Yep! I'm same way... 3 1/2 weeks out, I've eaten chicken... And jus had a couple bites of steak today! Yum! I only eat a little bit. Nothin bothers me yet...I only "felt" sick once when I ate too many Eggs! Lesson learned! -

Thanks all! I will be stopping at a gas station soon, I'm on my way to Pittsburgh (bout 1 hr 45 min) from my current location! And I needed some ideas! I didn't know the Gatorade had protein in it tho!
-
No I haven't! Powder or is it already made?
-
I had the exact same things! Ugh! I'm 12 days post op as of today. Don't feel like doing anything tho. So tired. And can't find a protein I get anlagen with!
-
I agree, start slow I was never a big drinker anyway.. Nor was I a big eater. No emotional eating here... I can't eat when I'm upset. No appetite what so ever.
-
I'm so glad someone talks about drinking. Some people are good with never drinking again, and cahoots to them, but I'd like to eventually be able to have a drink or 2

Two Weeks & Regret!
Mandee80 replied to kristlynngirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, jus goes to show ya how different doctors are. I'm 11 days post op and no way would I try purée yet! I am on 1 week clear liquid, 2 weeks full liquid, then purée for 2 weeks. Then you can start to add soft foods. And they say try to avoid tuff meats for 6 months. Good luck to you! Hope it gets better! -
Oh man, I think I made a mistake!
Mandee80 replied to PittGuy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had one. Put it in after I was out. Didnt hurt coming out -
How long before...
Mandee80 replied to elli'smommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 10 days post op and I passed up a concert tonight I got free tickets for. Not that I feel horrible. Just uncomfortable, and it's a LONG walk to the stage. And my energy I way down from what it was. But everyone's different! I could have pushed myself, but I think I made the best decision.
