thanks @@amylynns it's the same with my incision early on there were 2 tiny strings hanging from it. Maybe I'll need antibiotics also.

ooooh you are so organized with it. Bad me timing my meals with video games or tv shows. Lol

My surgery RNY was 5 weeks ago. I've started at 303 on day of surgery I was 280, the day after surgery I found a scale in the hospital and I was 289. I've been 260 for the last 9 days. I know I need to up my exercise and improve my diet. I'm getting close to my fluid goal. And I'm getting my protein in now. But one of my insicion open a bit so I just phoned the dr. Office. Sorry if it's to gross.

scaraway pads help with itching and reducing scars.

so happy for you Bronxy!!!????

yeah I feel as though I am ruled more by my stomach now than I was before. I get a stomachache when I eat, I get a stomachache when I don't eat, I get a stomachache when I drink water, I get sick when I don't drink water. It's a horrific spiral. And to top it off I'm in a stall. I can't work yet. It's crazy.

I don't know how I'll feel in 6 months but right now all I have is regret. I sought out and consented to let someone mutilate me. I was ready for change but I wasn't ready for this. On the plus side my diabetes is gone. I'm still trying to be better. But days like this will come and they will go. Sorry I feel like a Debbie downer.

because it's natural.

loud tummies are totally acceptable as long as you're feeling better.

im so happy for you, hopefully it wasn't too ... Ah... "Stressful?" ????

yes. Complications made me super blue. I have the issue of not being able to drink liquid without pain and I am constantly fighting dehydration. I know make a icee of 8 fluid ounces water to 4 ounces juice now I'm up to 36+ ounces a day and feeling better about it. I've even lost my care as to whether I lose weight or not.

awwww beni I hope you'll be able to go soon. Have they tried the suppository. Or an Enema to loosen up what's impacted. There's also the digital route where they just go in and get the excrement.

youre never to old for leggings with a tunic.

I'm at the four week stalk I haven't lost any weight. for a week I've been at 258.5

can you get in of those plastic foldable water bottle and fill up when you go to the bathroom.

i would take the strained cream soup and at a few ounces of baby food meats. That's about 8g of protein.

@@amylynns I had a problem the first 3 week I would spit up after every meal but fortunately that started to resolve.

yay!!!!! So happy for you. So silly.

Went to see the APN today and have my paperwork filled out. Because it seems I shall be off of work another 4 weeks. Which would be find if I could get my pension papers filled out for temp disability. She said have you been back to work. I said "look at me would you want me working on your loved one in a trauma operating room at this point". She was like no. I'll have these papers for you today. I did get put on regular food. But still can't drink unless it ice. Made a fruit smoothie got down about 20 ounces in a sitting so it's getting better. She sent me back to the dietician because my diet sucks. Lol. Yea I made a cake. Go fig...

oh wow I saw the powder peanut butter on sale at big lots and was thinking about getting it.

We had a family dinner yesterday and I had about 2 ounces of my infamous salmon and some soft au gratin potatoes. It took 2 hours I eat with breaks. Had to go out side a couple of time because I get too hot after I eat sometimes. Couple hours later tried to get in some chicken and mashed potatoes and I puked my guts out. You never know what food may work for you. But today j find out I like an orange Julius smoothie with the protein boost and for breakfast I had a dunkin donut angus egg cheese wrap with no difficulties besides it taking 2 hours to finish.

i'll post the link again for the bariatric surgery restaurant card. http://www.obesityhelp.com/magazine/RestaurantCard.html

yes !!! That's what lead to my dehydration. I was frightened of water. It doesn't make a difference whether it is tap water or bottled water i.e. purified water. To keep out of the emergency room I learned that chopped ice with the little juice on it has to be my best friend. Smoothies.

Remember you can print out this discount card so you can go out with your family to restaurants and order off the kids menu. http://www.obesityhelp.com/magazine/RestaurantCard.html

I made homemade beef tacos last night. I ate one soft corn tortilla shell taco and it took me about 90 minutes with all the chewing. But no adverse effects as of yet. I think the pain by one of my incisions is the nerves growing back. I remember that area being really numb afterwards.
