12 days out of surgery is still alot of healing going on. I always get an uti after surgery due to the catheter they put in me. Never fails, i always get one and they send me home with meds for it. The Constipation part.....i take 3 metamucil capsules every night before i go to bed and that helps a lot. try and get your calories through your Protein drinks. I drink muscle milk from GNC, that will help with the calories and pudding also helped me with calories. i have my 2nd surgery 6/29 and already prepared and bought everything i needed. I've been through this with the band so i'm ready to go when the sleeve is done at end of month. You'll start losing as soon as you start taking in more calories, which is what the muscle milk helps with and the metamucil at night i drink with my unsweet tea for constipation. prayers girl
