August 2013 Roll Call

[mummytolewis 21]

I did....they said because it was the bigger incision that might happen....especially with the blood thinners...the other night I laid a hot compress on my stomach trying to help circulate that gas and when I looked again the blood had started to flow...but of course eventually it stopped....I can say each day gets better and better....can't wait to start seeing the differences....

Thanks so much for putting my mind at rest( but sorry you had this too) I am having injections every night still got 8 to go, I never thought about the blood thinners:-/, heres to making a great recovery:-D feel so relieved thankyou:-*

_{Hello fellow August sleevers !!!! My surgery was 8/8 and I am really progressing nicely. It takes some trial & error to find what works. I felt weak by day 5 and felt much better when Dr said it was okay to drink Protein Shakes. Stay healthy everyone ! August sleevers ROCK !}

pre-op diet going pretty well. can resist some popcorn in the evenings once in a while. I know it;s a starch but are there any other particularly negatives? .

Have you tried eating little and often my surgeon advises at least 6 meals a day from day 4 post surgery, i, m on pureed food now for 3 weeks, this is anything of smooth consistancy including cereals like wheatabix and porridge, scrambled egg, I also sip on milky coffees like lattes. :-)
