My little incisions are sooo itchy!

Do you have stitches or glue?

I went to have my nails done today, and then I went shopping a little. I think I over did it, I really need a nap. I am going to limit the distances I drive until I have my follow up appointment.

I have 4 that are stitches and 1 that is staples.
Anyone gone to pool or been in Water a short time with glue on? Is that OK?

You can't be in Water for 2 weeks.

Think about Chlorine getting into an open wound....

There are a couple private FB July Sleever groups. I do not use Facebook, but if you look in some of the other july threads you will find the information on them

I'm happy to report that I'm feeling awesome, day 9! Yesterday I was even able to go for 2 walks, getting in almost 12000 steps. I'm getting close and closer to my Protein goal every day & have hit my Water goal for the last 3 days straight! I feel great & am so happy n fortunate to have had this surgery!!

Yay you for being so strong during the get together! I haven't had to experience that yet but know it will be tough. Congrats on getting through it unscathed!

I am 1 week out and still having issues getting all my fluids in but I am able to eat yogurt now and cream Soups. From what my doctor said that's all a part of my Fluid intake so I'm happy to be able to advance. I bought silicone ice pop makers and made crystal light ice pops. That's seemed to help.

Sorry your surgery was cancelled Khaled. Did they saw when you can have it?

Hematologist says I am normal nothing is wrong, and he says I am cleared to have the surgery.

Now I am waiting for surgery staff to call me and reschedule.

How is everyone feeling today? I am feeling pretty close to 100%. I think I am going to stop sleeping on the couch and move to the bed. I am able to drink a lot of fluids now. Almost taking full swallows. Not gulp but pretty normal sized amounts. Follow up appointment is tomorrow then on to full liquids. I can't wait for a good cup of Soup.< /p>

I'm day five. Feeling like a million bucks no pain meds yet. Only nausea came after taking Vitamins so going to stop until advancing to soft food. Gone shopping twice now with no trouble. I do get tired quickly but that's to be expected. I hope everyone will have an easy time of it.

      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.
