Any savory ideas for post op liquid phase? Panera broccoli soup is nice but anything else?
-
Soup sounds good any store/ restaurant recommendations
-
Any idea to make liquid diet. More palatable ? How can one amp proteins in sugar free jello pudding for example other than using fairlife and adding whey
-
I am using seeq protein in water - you take a scoop and put it in water to make a watery drink - better than the milk based version
-
More than the discharge it’s a stronger odor which I find disturbing - no incision surgeon said maybe nurse abraded the belly button while cleaning it before the procedure - ER says it’s looks normal but gave me anti fungal ointment - hope it resolves i I couldn’t stand the premier protein but no identifier lactose intolerance - just didn’t like the taste too sweet and heavy seeq protein water has been a lifesaver so I do two 14 oz servings of that and one 8 oz of fair life with whey protein and the rest water
-
I got it on the 5th and an anesthesia newbie like you. Recovery has been smooth so far except for a belly button discharge and odor which the surgeon says happened bc the nurse cleaned it too vigorously maybe. Fingers crossed for that to resolve with clotrimazole. liquid phase for 3 weeks .how are you doing with your fluid goals
-
Got the cheesecake flavor and made it with fair life and it’s so thick and sweet I can’t have more than a teaspoon sofar only savory option is Panera broccoli cheddar soup from which I pick out the veggies and have 4 oz
-
So there was no incision - surgeon said the nurse may have abraded it when cleaning it before op & there maybe a fungal infection ER doc sent a sample for culture started me on clotrimazole cream - applied it yesterday with q tip - in the morning the q tip had light brown granular stuff on it and smelled musty - I am Guessing that’s the cream mixed with the normal button stuff - any idea?
-
Did anyone notice any bellybutton crusted discharge after gastric sleeve? Any idea what it’s and why
-
Anyone has any idea if the sleeve involves accessing through the bellybutton - if yes is it stitched? Trying to figure my discharge source
-
PA checked it leaned it with peroxide inserted a Vick in with peroxide to remove after 48 hours thinks it’s just normal sebum praying for the best
-
Oh I assume the button incision is small and they don’t stitch it How do you wash the belly button after surgery ? The smell could be bc of the abdominal binder I wore constantly for the first five days
-
Just this discharge and a slightly stronger smell of normal belly nothing else waiirng for Dr to revert since yesterday
-
So are mine but my vent button is t shaped without any visible sutures and been leaking some brownish fluid
-
The PAsaid it could be residual blood and to monitor it. do they go through the be,my button too?
-
That’s what I am concerned about - I have no other symptoms. No redness nothing its not even an active leak - more like dark brown crusting on my trouser once in two days like bellybutton gunk
-
how strong are gastric staples ? Can they withstand straining on emptying bowels cough etc
-
Did it !!!!!! Milk of magnesia 2 oz between 4 oz of water worked but you are right it was very watery bc nothing to come out I WAS CONCERNED About strain on stitches in stomach or skin when straining
-
Thank you for sharing your experience I don’t even know if I am constipated considering I have no urge or discomfort - it’s just I haven’t had a bowel movement for the past 3 days and am afraid of constipation affecting the stitches more than any symptoms If I hadn’t had the procedure I would assume this was bc I am having only protein water and fair life rather than any prob doing 4 oz water 2 oz milk of magnesia and 4 oz water today - the milk is horrid tasting 😕 let’s c
-
It’s very less noted it twice in 7 days on trouser hoping it’s residual
-
Have some small belly button brown discharge straining trousers after gastric sleeve which Smells a little Doc said it could be dried blood from procedure Any one with any similar experience No other symptoms
