Havent been able to figure out how everyone gets their picture on here?? Can anyone explain to me how I can do this. I use my cell phone to get on here. Thanks.

When I had my surgery they put a little circle patch on my neck to dry up secretions and prevent nausea, told me to leave it on 3 days. When I got home the day of surgery I could not swallow cause I had not spit to swallow, I was so dry. Just be sure you dont have one of these little patches on still. It will really dry you out.

I plan on going back on weight watchers when I get back to solid foods. I lost 40lbs on it in 4 months before my surgery. I did the online. My dietican said I could go back on it after I start solid foods. It really works.

I go for my follow up appointment at 11:00 today. I plan on asking the doctor then about it. It doesnt feel warm to touch, not red. I dont know, but it is painful.

Congrads Prinxs on your surgery!!! Hang in there, pain gets better day by day.

I made homeade chicken noodle soup, froze some, and blended it up with my blender stick, ate about 3/4 c. Yummy!!! Ham n beans, cooked in crockpot all day, then blended up, then add a lil ketchup, yummy!!! Chicken soup I used chicken thighs boiled them, with carrots, celery and onion. Picked meat off bones, added it back to broth, bring to boil add egg noodles, cook until done. Tastes great even blended. Oatmeal or over easy eggs mushed up.

Does anyone else get a terrible burning sharp pain below biggest incision?? I am 8 days post-op, and the pain is terrible when I stand most of time. Or get in car or just touch that area. Please help??

What is bacon medallions??

Where can unjury be purchased??? Have been hearing alot of you talk about it, but dont know where to get it, we dont have a Cosco.

Where can u buy the unjury??????

How long does it take for pain to go away or at least get better by the biggest incision, which I assume is the port area??? Burns really bad when I stand up or sit.

Scooterbug, u may want to try weight watchers for men online. I did weight watchers from april - august online and lost 40lbs. I am going to go back on it after I can eat regular food again. My surgery was sept 19th. Im on full liquids still. I am also having a lot of burning pain under the bigger incision, hoping it lets up soon.

I dont know if im getting enough protein in, and fluids. I had surgery last wed. I feel full after a 4 oz protein shake. Just full all the time.

That is wonderful, the dress looks great on you. Congradulations!!!!

Congrads Lori, yes the shower does help alot. Just rest and take it easy.

Stacytt, I feel same way. I had my surgery the 19th. I burn when I stand up at the biggest incision site. I can only drink 3oz of ptotein shake at a time. Cant tell if im hurting cause im full or what. No bm yet either.

Well my surgery is over with. Surgery was at 10:30, out of hospital by 2:30. It went well, I think my throat being sore and dry is worse than the incision pain. I am very tired also, and cant sleep fro dry throat. Thanks all for the thoughts and prayers. Good night!!!

Surgery in AM, will keep you updated. Getting nervous.

Well tomarrow morning I will finally have my surgery. Getting pretty nervous, I hope I can sleep tonight. Have to be at hospital at 9am, surgery at 10:30. Hoping all goes well and I get my band. Will keep you all updated on how it goes. Thanks for all the support and great info.

Congrads, you did it. Good luck with the weight loss. Hopefully you dont get the gas pain.

Threekidsmom, Congradulations on getting a date!!!! Good luck to you. Keep me updated. Mine is in 3 days, getting nervous.

Does anyone have some good tasting recipes for these stages after surgery?? My surgery is the19th, would like to make some in advance and possibly freeze.

Does anyone have any great tasting soup recipes for these stages? I have bought campells cream soups, but we all know homeade tastes better.
