I can not stomach the protein shakes or drinks. I found a bar that has the same amount of calories, proteins, etc as the drink. Anyone eating their protein instead of drinking it??

My questionable incision- oh my. The rest of the dermabond came off and it is definitely not closed. I called my nurse and she said to use a butterfly strip. I did but it doesn't look like it has done any good. She is also calling in an antibiotic.

There should have been four very small ones. However, I had a hernia and a very enlarged liver so he had to make two extra ones for a total of six. On of mine is 3-4" long because of the liver.

Thanks! Where do you get this bar?

I am a teacher and go back to school in two weeks. I don't know how I am going to be able to get my liquids and protein in during the school day. Suggestions??

I also didn't get my protein in for a few days. Think that contributed?

I had a hard time sleeping more than 2-3 hours at a time post op too. After about a week and a half I started sleeping longer and longer.

When you get to the point that you can change positions you will feel better too. Have you tried a heating pad, hot shower, and aleeve? Those helped me....

Thanks you two!

Lets try this one again lol! I was moody and cried a lot too. Found out it was the pain meds my dr sent me home with.

I was moody and cried a lot too. Found out or was the pain meds my dr sent home found that!!

Bless your heart! Laying in bed was strange for the first little while for me too. It felt like things were pulling in strange directions on the inside. I also had pain in my back and it does go away!

I started on soft food yesterday and my scales say I have gained 2 pounds! What is that?!

Did you freeze it before drinking it??

Oh no!!!!

I get hungry but only a little - especially if I stay drinking and eat at regular times.

It is normal... Just try to constantly drink. I had to find soups to eat at random times to feel like I ate something...

Blah.... Thanks . I am miserable.

I don't see why not. I ate tomato and even cheddar broccoli from Mcalisters.

I got hungry and made some tuna with boiled egg, Mao, and pickle. I ate tooth and now I miserable and trying not to vomit. Any suggestions?!

Mine lasted about 24 hours....

Totally normal. It is your insides waking up but will get less and less!
