Worried, Pus
I had that from my largest incision after my stitches were removed- but it was a LOT not just a drop - after that happened- my incision flattened out- no more redness- no more swelling- and it closed itself up! It's healing beautifully now!

Food Cheating
I haven't "cheated" or chopped up anything. This was a huge investment for me, for my health, and for a life style change. It's a life style change for me, not just another diet, to cheat on. One thing that I guess maybe no one told me I could eat but I felt I really needed it post op 5 days, I had an egg.I ate about a third of it or less. It was very under done, and made with only water, sunnyside up, and it went well. It also gave me something in my tummy, and not being able to have anything but a few tiny sips of gatoraid, it was marvelous, and did not bother me at all. I didn't consider it cheating, I just considered it nutrition.

4 Days Postop-Not Getting Enough Protein
I was the same way- still don't get all of my protein in- but the unjury broth is best taken with an acid reducer prior to drinking it- it was the only way I could get it down without the pain Best of luck to you!!!

Stupid Post-Op Gas!
I hope you found your relief! For anyone else suffering or reading this for guidance, I have a fool proof method! Right after surgery (and he still does it now even sometimes for me) My wonderful hubby would run his arm up my back, from my tush to my shoulders. It moved the gas right up, and out. I had all of my surgery gas gone by day 3. Anytime I need it he burps me also just by rubbing my back, or I hug him, and lean against his tummy, and he runs his arms up my back....works every single time! <3
