  1. Can anyone give me some advice on what is okay to take for a headache?? I am 10 days post op and am getting headaches now.
  2. How is everyone doing today? I am 10 days post op already. I feel great. A little hungry but getting better each day.
  3. Anyone have any size 24 women's pants?
  4. Does anyone know if it's supposed to be hard and a little warm to the touch where the port is? 9 days post op, staples out yesterday and today the site is a little warm. Help please.
  5. How many days post op are you? Glad that the milk of mag helped. I used a laxative cause it was a little cheaper for me. Took 12 hrs but did help.
  6. I am 7 days post op and I know that it's not just gas. My tummy rumbles and grumbles at me all day. Tried drinking more but it doesn't help. Seeing the dr today for my first post op visit. Will see what he says about the rumbling.
  7. Omg thanks for the helpful information. I haven't started food yet but I am going to get the spoon and fork you suggested. I also have problems eating slow. I have to retrain my body is guess. Thanks again.
  8. What they eat is all up to them if they choose to share or not. Their weight is hidden but how much they lost if posted shows up. I personally post what my weight is now cause I am proud of myself. Feel free to add me if you want. GmasDolly is the handle on there.
  9. What did you do to relieve the problem?
  10. Try not to think about it. I hyped myself up so much (I suffer from severe anxiety) that they almost canceled my surgery. Keep a positive attitude and have support there for you. That's what really helps. I had none.

  15. I am on the other side now and struggling a little. I feel like I am hungry all the time but that could all be in my mind. I am only 2 days post op and feeling a bit better than yesterday except for the hunger. Oh did I mention the first bowl movement you have can be quite painful?? I just spent 20 mins trying to get one bm out. Sorry for the tmi.
  16. I just had my first bm today and it was liquid. I thought something was wrong until I read what you all wrote. Thanks a bunch for the helpful posts.
