whoahbabyy 105 Posted October 23, 2015 Had my post op appointment today (surgery was Oct 14) I have a small infection on the incision from my drain hole but not major, he just said to keep it dry and covered. But I've lost 21 pounds since I start my liquid preop diet! So 21 pounds in 2 weeks makes everything worth it. And I also found a Protein Drink I actually like. Isopure zero carb drink. Comes in fruity flavors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SleeveandRNYchica 1,155 Posted October 23, 2015 So I am home, working on my 1st Protein Shake. I went to Vitamin shop and picked up samples. The Syntrex nectar chocolate truffle is yummy! I am still in a lot of pain. I am hooked up to an On-Q pain pump. It's hard coming home because my 16 month old is rough and likes to jump all over me. So trying to keep her at bay.

I am still in a lot of pain. I am hooked up to an On-Q pain pump. It's hard coming home because my 16 month old is rough and likes to jump all over me. So trying to keep her at bay. I've heard from a lot of young mother's who are having the same problem with their little ones, she probably missed you while you were in the hospital! Sorry your having trouble with pain, do you think its the gas they pump inside of you? It does take a while to get rid of. The only thing that seemed to help me is the walking & I got some gas x strips which help with the other kind of gas. I think people who have a hernia repair have a little more pain with their surgery sometimes. Sending you hugs & prayers that you will get to feeling better soon!

SleeveandRNYchica 1,155 Posted October 23, 2015 Thank you. I am passing gas. But you are right about the hernia fix too. forgot about that. I was so out of it yesterday. I am not sure how much is gas vs pain from the inside. If that makes sense. I have been walking and I don't have gas in shoulders or anything. I got to meet a fellow October patient from this board and that was cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
