I do have an infection in one of my incisions. This pain i'm feeling is within 4 inches of that but also where my stomach is located which is why i was wondering about the leak. It does hurt to walk, laugh, talk etc but i've noticed after i eat/drink its worse.

I am always cold now! I wear a jacket constantly - this is awesome for me as always being hot before! Best of luck to your body temperature!

I have been honest since day 1 with my entire family(mom, brothers & sisters,aunts and uncles). I wanted their input & to ensure i had their support. Once i knew this is what i was doing for sure i shared with friends and co-workers. Everyone has been supportive and i found out more ppl who have had it. My husband is very insecure and tells me daily that he gives us a year until we are divorced. We have major issues that were here well before surgery. That is my only concern is losing him & my family falling apart! Has anyone had a marriage fail post op?

I am almost 3 weeks out & still have a significant amout of pain but only in one spot which feels like where my belly is. Any suggestions?

Does the unflavored protein really change the consistancy?

Wow!!!! There is no way after 3 dats for me lol

I actually cried today over the whole protein.intake issue i am having. I am.literally full all day long! I am between 30-45 grams of protein per day and all i do is drink it all day long. I cant drink regular fluids because im stuffed from the protein. My hands are dried out and my.mouth is dry so i feel like im getting dehydrated. I am 2 weeks out and am holding steady at 20 pounds lost and to add i have an infection at one of my incision. My doctor told me protein protein.protein and said i will not heal or lose if i can't increase my intake. I have done carnation, isopure & nectar and am easily burnt out on my flavors. Ughhh feel like i am failing quickly

I do have an infection on my one of my incisions - is that the same as a hematoma? I am def ready - he agreed and it was sealed hehehe.... i can say it was uncomfortable at times.. cant wait til im 100% feeling better

Im in this boat now 12 days post op and struggling to return back to work. I really feel well some days & other days i wake really sore. Today i woke up great but by the time evening came i needed a pain pill. I too get very tired, but im not getting a the protein in. Im really working on that & vitamins to get my energy back. Im planning on going in thursday whether im 100% or not. My surgeon said that most people are @ 2 weeks some at 3 and others at 4.

Just sent

I see you!!

How long did you wait to "seal the deal" post surgery? My hubby thinks im not ready but.....im pretty sure I AM lol

I am on instagram but have not fully been using it. I am linds1221. Hopefully we can find otgees and start sharing our progress photis!

I'm in the STL area and looking for the same! I cant figure out how to load pics and stuff on this site via mobile - Does anyone have facebook that would be willing to be friends there?

I am looking for more variety for clear full liquids - 2 weeks will be next friday!!

Mine is clear full liquids until i get another barium swallow done (2 weeks) and then i move to pureed (applesauce, green beans etc) ...come on 2 WEEKS!!!!! I am having a hard time remembering their instructions!!

I am 5 days post op and cannot seem to figure out how to eat/drink what i am supposed too! Meaning quanity. I think i am not eating enough nor drinking enough - 5 days post op and have lost 10 pounds! Also when should i start protein? I tried the other day but all the rumblings hurt my tummy. Any one gave suggestions? Also what else can i eat at this stage besides yogart, jello, pudding or broth? Can i have mashed potatos? I have been putting anything i eat in a 2oz cup

I was the same regretted it in the recovery room and i too asked them to stop all meds with hesitation they did- within 12 hours i was feeling better. I am home now and don't regret it at all. I am having minor complications that in a few weeks should be resolved in their own.

I am going to be honest and tell them tmrw if they ask So scared and nervous and excited!! 12 hours from now ...ill be there!

Tomorrows my big day!! So nervous - did anyone contemplate backing out?

I used to be a smoker and i was able to quit. A few weeks ago stress cauggt the best of me and i slipped up and smoked a few cigarettes!!! My surgery is scheduled this week and i don't know if i should cancel it or what!! I will be over a week out no smoking and as stated it was only a few. Everyone in my family thinks i will be ok but i wanted to get opinions on here, anyone have any thoughts?

I know it didnt was just inquiring how long. It looks very uncomfortable.
