sounds like an allergy. Did you have surgical tape or bandaids at the areas where it is blistering? You may have an allergic reaction to these,

Finally on soft foods. I actually ate some chicken noodle soup today. I ate the chicken, carrots and few of the noodles. It was good to finally chew something after five weeks of liquids/pureed. I am happy it stayed down. Unsure of how much to eat as I am not sure what my full trigger/s will be. I am sure I will find out soon enough.

You are truly an inspiration. Congratulations on your awesome weight loss! Your upbeat attitude and tina-isms are wonderful! Those that you mentor are lucky ladies! Keep up the great work. I love seeing how you are doing.

Caffeine is very irritating after surgery. Decaf is OK. I buy a good decaf like Dunkin' Donuts and it tastes pretty good.

congratulations Carlos. You are very inspiring. You have taken your life and turned it around in so many ways. You will succeed. Good Luck, stay the course. I cannot wait to follow your journey.

you are recovering from major surgery. Rest, relax and heal. I know it is boring and doing just liquids is very hard. Walk, sleep and enjoy your time off, the cleaning can wait until you are fully recovered. Hang in there.

Praying for you. So glad you called, good luck. Let us know how you are doing.

I just got home from the hospital and honestly, I was very tired the first day. My husband was there but it is not a two hour drive. My husband just kept me company and I was happy to have him there but it was not necessary. No kids at home. It would depend on what he wants or feels he wants to do. Does he need to be there, probably not. The time goes by so quickly and you will probably need him to be home when you are discharged.

I had my surgery on 6/5. Feeling pretty good today. Some discomfort with getting up and down. The first sip caused me to have more of a feeling of pressure not pain. No drains for me. It was great to come home to my own bed! Trying to get my fluids in and started full fluids today so a few more choices.

Sorry that you are going through this. I hope this resolves soon and you are feeling better and stronger each day. Keeping you in my prayers.
