Yes my clothes are too and people are commenting so I am not too worried either.

My surgery was 9/26 and I got the sleeve. Did you get the sleeve or the bypass?

Yes that is very cool!

I didn’t even think about Kroger

Had my surgery 9/26 at saint Thomas Rutherford in Murfreesboro Tn

I am doing good. I weighed yesterday and I had gained and then weighed today and it went back down to where I was couple days ago. But I am not going to get discouraged. I am just gonna keep on doing the program. I have not had a bowel movement in like three days but I don’t really feel like I need to. I have been using the miralax once a day. I need to get more protein in for sure been trying to get all my water in. I went to Walmart to buy my premier shakes and they were completely out.

I went back to work today. Feeling bit tired this eve and feel some tugging in belly. Prob from inside stitches. Yesterday I started having diarrhea several times yesterday and few times today already. I know that isn’t helping the dehydration that is prob lurking already. Just ready to go home and rest. I go see my surgeon tomorrow for my two week follow up. I noticed I had some pain through my upper back when trying to eat last night but none today. Hope everyone is well. Oh yea and I still have the allergic reaction around all my incisions. Just not as bad.

I had 1/2 cup mashed potatoes today. It was like heaven! I just took small bites and ate slowly. Everything was fine.

My dr is out of the office but I had sent him pics and talk to him on the phone but his partner agreed that it was an allergic reaction as well. They started me on a medrol pak of steroids. I had started Benadryl yesterday and hydrocortisone cream. Hope it subsided soon.

Here is a pic of three of my incisions

I am at the doctors office right now. I am having some type of allergic reaction. The itching is driving me crazy and around my incisions are all swollen and red and I have a rash on belly. I don’t have a fever and no pain. Just insane itching!!!

I too have been itching too death. I have circled four of my five incisions like a race trac. All my incisions look good. Still glued but one had a small pin size drainage today. I am hurting in my left side like I have ran and got a “stitch” in my side. If I stretch my arms above my head it seems to help a little.

I was feeling pretty good too. Yesterday went to church and then decided to go to Walmart and get a few items. Came home after and Now I feel yucky. No nausea just tired and my abdomen is itching something awful. Been scratching around my 5 incisions. But I keep getting like a stomach spasm or something. Not sure if it is a hunger pain that turns into a spasm or just a spasm. But it hurts and kinda feels like it is trying to push stuff back up esophagus. Then it passes. Then minutes later it does it again. It does it for little bit then subsides. So not sure if gas hunger or just stomach itself. Has anyone else had this?

I am doin pretty good. Some of the soreness seems to be subsiding but still getting some gas pains. Had my first bm about 4:30am. I am having some type of stomach spasms or something. Not sure if it is hunger or spasms or both. Hope everyone else is doing well.

I am little sore too. It was just right side but now seems to be whole abdomen area. And when under cover I get too hot but shiver of out from under the cover.

I am a bit restless as well. So sore. Feel like been kicked in the guts. And it hurts through to my back. But I did just pass some gas. That I am excited for.

My surgery went well also. I am having pain at the right surgical site on my abdomen. But I have been walking and ate some jello and broth. Just trying to remember to keep sipping on my water. I don’t want dehydrated. I also came home today. Glad your surgery went well.

Way to go. I walked the Long way too. I walked in the middle of the night as well. Sounds like you are doing pretty well. That’s awesome. I am doing pretty good too I think lol. We are on the losers bench now.

Good morning! I am about 14 hours post op and don’t feel too bad. Just very sore on my right side and when I try to move it burns and stings. I have been sipping water and eating small ice chips. I ate couple bites of a popsicle and drank about ounce or two of water and I was full. I have 5 incisions. That are all glued. And I slept in the chair instead of the bed. Hope everyone is doing well this morning.

Good luck on your journey!

I remember those days lol. It will be here before you know it. It has flown by.
