Was it difficult or uncomfortable at first doing ab exercises? Situps?

I'm more concerned about the radiation issues. And I had a feeling you'd be the one to answer my question CPA! U seem to know all the answers!! Very helpful thank u.

I take the BA passion fruit Iron

Swimming 5-6 wks out I got an ok for. Walk everyday since surgery. I'm on wk 3.

Will it buzz at the airport check? What about harm when getting an xray??

So many more awesome Octobers!!! :0)) congrats n hugs!!!! Speedy recovery and success wishes to all :0)

Don't forget the pillow you'll need for ride home under seat belt! N a vomit bag just incase.

Note: stay awayfrom all those red liquids u mention two days prior to surgery. ;0)

Pain is normal it gets better two wks out.

Thanks best wishes to u too. Bring chapstick n underwear. N face wipes. N slippers.

I'm in two wks today too and started purees today too. I can't do it though. Too much pain n it gets stuck. Very painful.

Surgery on oct 28, 2011 lost 22.5 lbs

I have the same pain n got a ultrasound. I'm sure it's what your theory is or nerves.

It seems like the new pain medicine prescribed to me this wk gives me the same horrible rash. Weird.

How r u today post surgery?? Let us know. Hope u r easily recovering :0) hugs*

What med was it?

My mom had the same experience with ger hysterectomy n said it's probably the nerves, as well and will heal in time. Thanks for reinforcing that theory.

Soy milk?

?

That's interesting. My surgeon told me this wk the stomach will stretch eventually no matter what. And at two weeks out even too much water can make it stretch.

I love the ice chip idea.

The hydrocodone/liquid loritab caused several people on here an allergic reaction post op of hives and extreme itching.

I became allergic to liquid loritab. Made the worst rash down there. Very bad. N hives on my chest. So I'm taking a different pain med now prescribed to me yesterday. In the hospital the combo of morphine and diladed made me burn n itch all over. Diladed alone seemed to b ok. Same with morphine alone. They quickly put benadryl in my iv though so i was ok.

what do u mean staples pulling skin tight? Where? U mean in belly? Thanks CPA

I did not get the results back because they r closed for veterans day. I am Also waiting on blood tests. Dr thought it could b gallstones. But that's no where in the region if my pain. It is painful to get the ultrasound. They push very hard many times all over, but I think it'll give me peice of mind that all is hopefully ok. Rest good this weekend :0) btw a heating pad helps I realized. But that's only when lying down :0/ yeah if u did a lot of lifting you could have soreness for sure.
