So sorry about this! Stay prayerful.

That was a lot of temptation..good for you for focusing on your goal!!!

You can really see the difference! Way to go! Looking great!!

Grandmothers are so special..sorry about your loss.

I am 5 weeks post op and I am a long time GS fan!! I drink them regularly and

would just just be concerned about them during a clear liquid phase.

Thanks for this encouraging post and congratulations on your success!

Congrats. She is a cutie!

I wasn't given any instructions but we had sex one week following my procedure and all was well.

I don't see anything wrong with eating part of a slice of pizza and a wing. I hope you enjoyed it and hbday to your son.

I'm a master level Social Worker and I provide therapy at a psychiatric hospital.

Congrats!

Yeah..that's what it's called. Thanks Lisa! I've been stressing my brain trying to remembe!!

It's an abdominal binder..you can find them online or at medical supply stores for around $30. They help hold your belly in when moving around and also help your posture. I used to own a medical supply store and sold quite a few...better to upsize if possible because they run rather small. Feel better!

Its a compression wrap..forgot what the nurse called it. It attaches by velcro. Mine is black.

Can you remember what it was that you held around your stomach? I've 2 other lap surgeries (gall bladder & spleen), and my biggest problem was going from a sitting position to a laying down position and vice versa. I will probably have the same issue. Wish I had my old bed which sat high...but I don't. My surgery date is 30 Jan...just trying to be ready.

I tried to get up as much as possible..i never sat our layed more than an hour during the day and made every effort to walk during the night. I would walk about 15 min. No pain around my port ..my pain was mostly gas. The pain is awful..yes.

I will pray for your mom. I also had to stay overnight and until late evening due to pain and vomiting..this part will be over soon so hang in there..walk and water..walk and Water, okay? Also, I kept wearing that wrap thing on my stomach..forgot what its called. I felt that it t really supported my stomach as I moved around. I probably wore it 3 weeks bc my nurse never told me to stop and I liked it.

Well I suppose we will just have to live with this noise...no complaints here.

Wow that seems like a lot and I thought mine was. My doctor filled mine to 5.2 at surgery. I have a massive fibroid found during LB surgery so this this was probably done to minimize the, need for repeated fills until I have the mass removed, according to his PA. I have had an additional fill and now have 5.6cc in 10cc band. I'm not having problems either.

Looking Good..congrats!!

You may be fine but I'd clarify my information asap to make sure you are doing everything correctly.

Read your own instructions and follow but here were mine. Thicker liquid (week 2) foods were Protein Shakes, low sodium cream of chicken, cream of mushroom Soups, light yogurt, Tomato soups, plus foods from week 1 such as broth. SF Jello, koolaid, crystal light, juices diluted and SF, 2 quarts of Water daily.

I was not able to eat that much so soon and had been advised not to eat until full. Did your doc give you printed instructions for this stage? Are you on mushy food stage?
