saw the doctor, he says its a hematoma. Lumpy bumpy because its where all my stretch marks are.

I used loseit before surgery and now my fitness pal postop. Getting used to it now and there are advantages

I am back to presurgery weight, and when I was at the doctor today for my rash that turned out to be a hematoma, he counted that as my post op appt, so I don't have to go back on wednesday. Working on getting more Protein in and making my liquid goals, each day a little closer.

Doc says its an ugly hematoma, no infection, yea.

Good luck ladies, hope it goes well and you are in recovery soon.

On my way now!

I think I have cellulitis on the left side of my stomach, this is a staph or strep infection, waiting patiently 15 more minutes til doctor's office opens, while freaking out inside. Anyone else dealt with this. It is swollen hot, and lumpy red. I am so sick of the antibotics that I was already taking, so hard to crush and hide in food, nasty nasty. Do they have liquid antibiotics.

count me in

I was warned and I forgot, NEVER trust a fart!

I have 6, showing all would have involved showing more rolls and taking more pics.

Here is my belly, the afternoon after surgery. Not pretty but not awful.

use a Water reminder app on your phone that will ding every 20 minutes to remind you to drink.

some multistage do, some don't, I bought Flintstone chewable because it does. Look on the label. Some of the Centrum silver chewable does not.

be prepared for yeast infection

tomorrow sunday, it was about 16 doses 7.5 lortab/325 acetaminophen. Started Thursday night. I may try just plain liquid Tylenol a couple doses tomorrow to stretch it out.

I got liquid lortab enough for 4 doses a day and it will last thru sunday into monday with no refills, he dont do refills. Dont expect a refill. Can I get a refill NO. They pound it in your head.

Pretty good, each day a little better. Still stuggling with getting in enough protein and liquids but will have more than doubled yesterdays by the end of today. I see my surgeon on Wednesday for my first follow up.

hey Dana, where did you have surgery done and who was your surgeon. I just had RNY on tuesday at northeast ga med ctr by dr nguyen.

try something other than straight water, crystal light or Powerade zero. as soon as I quit drinking straight water, most of the cramps went away.

I switched off from Water and broth, day 4, could have Protein Drinks and such. As soon as I had 2 oz of Protein, the gas started flowing out the right end, no more burps. I have felt much better since then. Powerade Zero is also a big help. Now today I am going to work towards some liquid/protein goals. This is gonna be much tougher than I thought, as far as getting the liquids and Proteins in. Also, doc gave me antibiotics for part of bowel prep, through the IV in the hospital and sent me home with some antibiotic horse pills to grind up and ruin some drink. Guess what I have now, a yeast infection. like I needed that. Sorry for tmi, but just so others are warned. Have something on hand for yeast infection, I dont and have to wait for someone to go to store.

After my morphine pump ended, I felt like I had been run over by a train. And with the liquid lortab, I feel pretty good for a couple hours then I fade and feel crappy.

I have been struggling with burping up the fluids I am getting in. Seem to be burping up almost as much as I am taking in. I would not call it vomiting, more like reflux, but without the burning of the acid. pretty much still just doing Water, so far today. Had some broth last night. Soon I am gonna try a Protein drink since they are allowed today. Hope this does not continue. Anyone else having this problem 4 days postop
