could it be the stitches pulling...? where is the pain located? less than 2 weeks post op for me I got a bad case of bronchitis and was hacking coughing one night (I didn't have any cough syrup ) and for the next 2 weeks I was in soooo much pain! dr said it was because of the stitches

no do not cut out your proteins! you were just pumped up with gas, meds, and IV. you are still bloated. drink your liquids and protein and relax!

I was like you. I had absolutely no problems drinking. it's just liquid, it goes straight through us. be careful with gulping, though. just keep doing what you're doing and get in all of your liquids! congrats on a successful surgery. it is such a blessing

drink more. try to eat every 2-3 hrs

I had insomnia when I was doing a low carb diet in the past had tons of energy!!!

vanilla premier protein with added milk?? fair life milk.

anything that can be blended. (baby food consistency )

he sounds insecure. :/

yep sounds like you are doing too much and pulled the muscle that's been stitched. I was up coughing last week and that bothered my sites. I rested all weekend and finally am able to move around a little bit. rest!! do not do anything

I'm almost 3 weeks post op and I was doing wonderfully until I got a cough Tuesday night. I was up hacking all night. well, since then I've been suffering from the pain of the stitches on my left side. no amount of Tylenol or pain meds will help it. I only feel fine when I'm not moving. when will it go away??

anyone on Instagram? follow my journey journey.meh

yes I have talked with them. they are not concerned and said its probably the stitch.also went to my regular dr for my cough and she gave me medicine for bronchitis and examined my belly and said she didn't feel like any of the incision areas opened (hernia)

how long does it take you to eat a meal? today is my first day on puréed food

itching is normal. means your incisions are trying to heal. I rub lotion around my sites

I puréed some chili and ate 2 oz. it took me a while. like 40 mins. I was really just licking the spoon. it wasn't good at all and maybe that's why too lol. thanks everyone for your comments!!

I was told to get in 8oz in 2 hours. it was very doable for me

milk of magnesia. no stool softeners!!

I can't figure out how to tag you, but anyway things are great now. we have divorced and I no longer have to deal with his manipulation and emotional abuse. I no longer walk on eggshells in my own home. I am a full time student at community college. my 2 yr old daughter lives with me and my parents. I agree with everyone- get a personal bank acct and deposit your check there. stop begging for his attention. contact a lawyer. take pictures of his conversations with the other women. you've been married 25 years you should be able to get spousal support . you deserve happiness! it is tough but you will thank yourself and ask yourself why you waited so long to leave.

I'm 25 , 5'4 , 290lbs pre op, I was sleeved 11/25.

I'm postop almost 2 weeks as I had my surgery 11/25. as you know, we shouldn't lift anything heavy after surgery anyway today I had to go to the store and I had to lift my 30 lb 2 year old into the buggy. a few hours later, & I'm sore on my left side. I have not been picking her up except today. how long did your dr tell you to wait to lift anything heavy? mine said 4 weeks. now I guess I'll be paranoid about getting a hernia :/

bump!

how have your labs been on the patch?? I've heard sometimes they don't work.

I'm so sorry. I was married and when I stopped getting attention I found out another woman was! I left him and divorced him. I hope you find hsppiness
