:bounce: whooo hoooooo *doin' the Happy Snoopy Dance*

I had a shower and it felt sooooo good to get that dressing & tape off!!!

I"m impressed: the incisions actually look marvelous...I just have two bad "blistery" spots (not on the incisions) that were caused by the tape...they are quite nasty and are weeping a bit; but I can handle that as long as the incisions are good! So far, so good!

If y'all notice a shortage on tape...it's cause it's all in my garbage can; I swear they used a whole roll on me!!!!

Yoda,

I'm so glad you're comfortable again.:clap2:

Those blistery areas sound like you were allergic to the tape. Remember it for any future procedures. Nasty stuff. Take good care of those weepy areas, I've heard of people actually scarring from those. Keep them clean and dry. If they start to look infected, call your doc right away.

Thanks Dawn...will do! I've put polytopic on them and I have a bandaid on them to keep them from accidently rubbing. They are stinging though. But, I'll keep a watchful eye.

Tks again.

;)

Yoda,

you might wan't to keep a close eye :) on the bandaids- the glue that is used on them could cause you the same problem as the tape!

Try to use paper tape and a gauze pad- it might be better.

Good healing!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
