4 days post op, does this look normal?

I think it is normal, too! But don't just go to ER, call your surgeon before you do that! Best wishes, Karen -
Green zone question
kll724 replied to secondchancesally's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hate to say it, but you sound too tight! If you are getting stuck so often, and not losing, it could be because of that. Talk to your nutritionist. Best wishes.Karen -
Really good article, I hope that the newbees and us oldies read it. It definitely tells it like it is. Thanks,Karen

Outdoorman, you sound like you have an admirer. Carolina is right, a lot a older people fall for these scams. Have you heard about the one, that they call and say grandma, this is your grandson, and I need money to get out of jail, (out of country, out of trouble)? Lost my passport. So many elderly people fall for this, too! Karen

Remember what you can see through! That is clear liquids, not heavy juice, sorry for the lecture! You can see through apple juice, not orange, banana, strawberry. In fact, there are few juices that you can see through, maybe cherry. Sorry for your pain, and unfill. Karen

Shoulder pain is from gas. It will go away but need to walk it out, too! Good luck, try gas-x tabs. Karen
-
Normal! The shoulder pain usually doesn't come until about a week or more. Just keep walking out the gas, and maybe take gas-x to get rid of it. Mine was bad enough that I actually took my pain meds around that time. Best wishes,Karen

did not sleep on my stomach the 1st month. I propped the pillow to keep from rolling to my stomach. I slept in my bed without being propped up, laying flat. As I said, I just kept from rolling to my stomach. It is hard for a stomach sleeper the 1st few days! Karen

Congrats, was never so happy as to get off my meds!

No heavy lifting for 6 weeks. You might need to take a short term medical leave if they can't give light duty. Best wishes for your journey! Karen -
Calm down, jenniferinjodan. You are still healing. You just had major surgery. rink your liquids, walk and rest. Best wishes for a smooth and speedy recovery. Karen

I love my port! It reminds me that I did something for myself! Mine sticks out, and I feel it when I lay down. When I get in the swimming pool it sticks out a lot. It reminds me, I guess what I am saying, it doesn't go away, it might get more pronounced, you will have to hide it with the clothes you wear. Good luck! Karen

I agree with newdawn! Start over and talk to a nutritionist. Best wishes, Karen
