need change 36 Posted June 7, 2015 Oh, I'm so glad it isn't just me. The doctor said I wouldn't get it all in at first, but I thought "how hard can that be?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
need change 36 Posted June 7, 2015 Are ur op sites itching today? Im going to try drinking 5-6oz/hr today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cantseemytoes 49 Posted June 7, 2015 Not today but they did itch yesterday. The "glue", or whatever it's called, is starting to peel off of one. The sites actually feel pretty good, except one that has a bruise all around it. My friend said that the site hurt bad for about 4 days and then it subsides. How are your feeling?

need change 36 Posted June 7, 2015 Feeling pretty good. Sipping is a full time job. The op sites still have glue but also a little red and itchy. I have a red whelmed itchy stripe under each boob...looks like they pulled off tape. Trying to keep ice packs on to help with itching. Mouth is always dry. Tongue feels weird and I'm bored. Other than that...I'm good. How have u been? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cantseemytoes 49 Posted June 7, 2015 I have that same itchy stripe under one boob. I freak out for a second and had my husband take a look at it. My mouth isn't really dry but I constantly have an awful taste. I started with Protein this morning. I'll have some yogurt in another 45 minutes. Sipping is a full time job. No wonder I had to take 3 weeks off work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lexiemia 78 Posted June 7, 2015 Low grade fever is normal after surgery. Its our bodies way of dealing with the injury. If it gets to 101 them you should worry and call your surgeon at that point. Mine got as high as 99.9 a few days post op. Fever does make you feel bad so I did take Tylenol. Hope you a feeling on the mend soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
