STAPLES OUT TOMORROW!

[imgettinsleeved 21]

So I am 8 days post op and tomorrow I go to get my staples out and I cant wait! I feel like its just one more step getting me back to normal. I started my Vitamins today and ehh they are awful. i ended up grinding it up and putting it in my 2 tbsp of yogurt I had for dinner worked so much better than eating it by itself. I got the Bariatric Choice all in one multi its amazing I have to eat it 4 times a day but thats all i have to take it covers everything.Ive been craving mashed sweet potatoes (like the thanksgiving kind with brown sugar and marshmallows) so bad i may make some tomorrow. Anyhoo just wanted to share..I hope everyone has a wonderful night!

Crazy that they used staples instead of sutures or glue strips.

Also...don't make what you're craving. That's kind of exactly the opposite of what you should be doing. Go ahead and ask your surgeon if they think it's a good idea to eat a bunch of sugar now. I mean, unless you're just eager to get your first case of dumping syndrome, and don't plan to change your habits and behaviors post-surgery, and just see how it goes.

I had staples as well. My incisions were glued and then had staples over them anyway. Getting them out is awesome!

I didnt know they use staples for laparoscopic surgery and Im a nurse. Whats the rotational for that if you don't mind me asking?
