It does look like an allergy...maybe to the dressing. You poor thing! Hope they help you

My dr is out of the office but I had sent him pics and talk to him on the phone but his partner agreed that it was an allergic reaction as well. They started me on a medrol pak of steroids. I had started Benadryl yesterday and hydrocortisone cream. Hope it subsided soon.

Had surgery Sept 11 and I can't wait to eat solid food! I'm so sick of Soup and cottage cheese!

I'm not allowed eggs yet at all. What has been added to my list is Greek yogurt without chunks of fruit, low fat cottage cheese watery oatmeal and mashed potatoes. All of these go down just fine no problems. Of course I can only have 2 teaspoons of them for now.

Really? I'm over 3 weeks out and can easily handle 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes or anything else. I wonder why.

I had 1/2 cup mashed potatoes today. It was like heaven! I just took small bites and ate slowly. Everything was fine.

I also had a few spoons of mashed potatoes today and oh my goodness.....it was like a small slice of heaven

Hello! I had my surgery on Sept. 28 and I was wondering if anyone has trouble sleeping? Not because of pain or anything but because I just don't fall sleep. Evident by this 1 am post lol

Yes, a few of us have commented on it. I'm a 26th bypass and it's just now getting better. I usually drift off around 12 or 1 am then up at 5. Last night I managed from 11 pm to 6 this morning.

Oh man I can't wait!
Hopefully it gets better before I have to go back to work at the end of the month. 12-16 hr shifts on a couple hours of sleep is def no fun!

Yes indeed! My surgery was on the 26th and I'm still cat napping 15-20 mins at a time. Not sure why but you're not alone on this one!

When was your surgery? Mine was Sept. 24th. I dont get light headed anymore but man, fatigue comes fast! I'm able to walk with my dog around the block but after that I'm done. I'm hitting my protein goal every day but still not hitting my Water intake all the time. I mean the stomach now can only hold 1/4-1/2 cup at a time so.... like they say, sip sip sip all day long.

My surgery was Sept 24th also. You are right fatigue is quick after any walking or going upstairs too fast. Thanks for the feedback.

You have to remember you've just had a major surgical procedure. Your body is going to need time to heal itself and that won't be overnight. I do know how frustrating it is, though. I wanted more than anything to get my veggie garden planted yesterday but after sitting on the edge of the garden bed and putting in 4 cucumber plants I was done!
