I am down 18 pounds but my monthly friend arrived today so I am sure I will see a slow down in the next couple days. I found Ensure Extra Protein drink the chocolate flavor and its the only one I can keep down. I can't stand the Nectar or powder stuff. I didn't want to buy it because i thought Ensure was only for older people and it wouldn't help but trust me, amazing!!! 25g of protein and only 5 sugars. You have the get the tall bottles and not the shorter ones. The shorter ones have too much sugar. i don't mean to sound gross but I have not pooped since the day before surgery. I would love diarrhea by now:). Lol. I hope everyone is doing ok! Go us for doing this for our health!!

Thanks guys for all the info. I left them open all day and they seem to be healing well. Staples come out Thursday so I am counting down the days!

I have a question about staples. I have 5 incisions and the one on my side and near my bra line are bothering me more then the others. My doctor said it was ok to not put bandages or band aides on them, but I'm nervous. Has anyone else left theirs open?

Hi guys, I'm a July 25th sliver as well. I stayed in the hospital until Saturdat and today was my first full day home. I am so not a drinker so I actually had to go searching all over for a shot glass, but I am using that to fill with a Protein Drink and sip on it 5-6 times a day. I got in a lot yesterday, but I really had to force it today. So glad I found so many in the same position as me.
