OCTOBER 2014

So the first 7 days was pretty normal. I was able to eat everything I had on 2 week pre-op. Exactly 7 days out... BOOM. Can't stand the Protein Shakes. One kind ran right thru me. Everything changed. Anyone else?

Are they lactose free shakes? Sometimes after surgery you can become temporarily lactose intolerant.

Must stay off of the floor. Having trouble getting up off of the floor. This is new. Felt like my stitches were pulling.

I think I have cellulitis on the left side of my stomach, this is a staph or strep infection, waiting patiently 15 more minutes til doctor's office opens, while freaking out inside.

Anyone else dealt with this. It is swollen hot, and lumpy red. I am so sick of the antibotics that I was already taking, so hard to crush and hide in food, nasty nasty.

Do they have liquid antibiotics.

7 days out today 10 lbs lighter. Stopped pain meds after 2 days, feeling great, but have some weird changes I don't know if normal. Bowel habits!

its like being waterlogged in the skin it happened after my second c-section. And I feel it now too.

Didn't mean to like the post...yes there are liquid and you should ask for it. They're not amazingly flavored but better than the bitter pills. Good luck let us know what they say!

My bowel habits are still not normal. Metamucil is my new best friend.

Great job. Since I cannot get Protein Shakes down I am losing a pound a day. I have not really had a change in bowel habits until a Protein Powder and my tummy did not get along.

I am back to presurgery weight, and when I was at the doctor today for my rash that turned out to be a hematoma, he counted that as my post op appt, so I don't have to go back on wednesday.

Working on getting more Protein in and making my liquid goals, each day a little closer.

I was pretty much back to pre surgery weight at my 1 week post op appointment too. I haven't weighed in a few days, since I'm coming up on the dreaded 3 week stall I have vowed to only weight once a week, I'm doing that on Thursday Morn.
