What are you doing for the itching? I'm scared to put anything near my incisions.

Hang in there. I had a rough start they had to go back in after I had some internal bleeding and my hemoglobin is still recovering. I did struggle the first couple days too. I found small sips throughout day helped. chicken broth went down well -did u try that?

My doctor told me "nothing" is to go on my incisions and to just scrub with soap in shower! Outside the shower it drives me crazy but each day is getting better!

As far as the liquids I wasn't able to get much down but I was able to get more down each day just make sure you are getting your Protein intake!

I went for my first post op visit today and he told me same thing. Actually told me to go to soft foods

I am on my 7th day post op and have been recovering so well. I am supposed to be on a full liquid diet until Sunday morning but I am dying for puréed foods. This creamy Soup stuff was great for a day or two but now I just want chicken and tuna and things like that.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
