So Im 7 days post op and my incisions have been great up until today after I took a shower. One of mine has began to ooze a yellow/red pus. The incision doesnt hurt, its not overly red, and the pus doesnt have a foul oder. Should I be concerned?

When in doubt, Always check with your doctor. Better to feel a little silly, than to wind up with a serious problem. Your pic however does look pretty normal so I wouldn't freak out. It's when the edges or surrounding skin get hot and really red that you need to start to worry.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
