  1. I'm going to be in the hospital all weekend on heavy antibiotics. All not other incisions are healing great. The infected incision is still open along with the 2 holes the infection caused.

    I am a rare case everyone. I just like letting ppl know what can happen. I had issues with the incision from day one. It hurt horribly and I never had a good day. After my one week follow up I was told I looked fine even though there was still a lot of pain. Within days the infection spread mind you I had no fever just a red belly.

    You've been on my mind. Thank you so much for updating us. I hope you heal quickly, and soon you won't be in pain. Hugs to you!

    Hope


  2. Hey everyone

    So I am 1 week post op and I have to say' date=' today was the first day I felt really good. I definitely had my share of "what the hell did I do" days in the very beginning but definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Cannot wait to move on from the full liquid diet and get to eat some tuna and egg salad. Just wanted all the pre-ops and early post-ops to know that it DOES get better. Every day is better than the last. I ate some Soup at a restaurant today and it felt great to be satisfied and full so quick. I am so excited for the rest of the year and what is to come![/quote']

    Hi,

    I'm a week out also. I'm not as happy as you right now. I'm not sure if it is a combination of things. I miss real food!!! I'm on full liquids. My friends brought food over for my family. The chicken looks so good! I'm not hungry, but I want that food. It may also be that I'm stuck in my house. I've been to the YMCA for walks, but I haven't gone many places. Maybe things will look up when I can eat real food, and not have to rest so much. I'm glad you're doing well!


  3. I'm a week out after my surgery. I've lost seven pounds. I'm not hungry, but I'm craving real food!! I've had friends bring over food for my family. I imagine myself picking up that piece of chicken and ravishing it! The Protein Shakes are grossing me out, because it takes me so long to drink them. I'm finding myself wanting food food food! I don't plan on eating horribly, but the deep dish pizza my husband was eating earlier was driving me crazy. I want to make healthy food and eat it, but right now I get cranky when I see any food. Does anyone else have this problem?


  4. Hey everyone

    So I am 1 day post op and feeling ok. Day of surgery and this morning were pretty uncomfortable. Home now and looking forward to getting a full liquid diet on Saturday. It still kind of hurts to drink Water because of gas pains. :/ doctor said procedure went amazingly well and wishes he had taped it for training purposes!

    Put on 6lbs from all the fluids at the hospital. Can't wait to start seeing the lbs drop!! How is everyone else doing?

    My surgery was on Tuesday. The gas pain and bloating is the worst! I finally passed gas today. I'm ready for this gas to go away!! I haven't had any issues getting my liquids in. I once sipped to much, and that was painful!
