I was able to eat full liquids fine but as of yesterday im only able to take a few spoonfuls of soup :/ if I try to take in anymore it hurts and comes up right now I'm just sipping on protein shakes and sf Popsicles... I'm 17 days post-op

So sorry your in alot of pain. Is it back pain?? I looked up flexeril and it's ok to take its not a NSAID make sure to check with your doc before taking anything maybe u need to be checked to make sure u didn't strain or hurt something Feel better soon!

Ugh yes it is hang in there it's the worst when it's around my monthly cycle!! I crave sweet and salty and coke with crushed ice :/ a good alternative I like are Quakers caramel rice cakes!!

Hi Destineex33 I love the cafe caramel latte Protein shakes from Atkins they taste just like a Starbucks latte u can add ice and blend them too!!

Hi mami it's super easy I got the idea from my cousin and she googled how to take in your baggy jeans and YouTube has great instructional videos also!!

Hi I went in with type 2 diabetes controlled by metformin 1000mg 2 a day after surgery I was completely off them now I have to watch that my sugar doesn't get too low sometimes it's around 78 and I need to drink something to bring it up

I'm also a thrift store shopper right now I also love garage sales!! One tip I like to do since I love my jeans is turn them inside out and sew the excess to my size right now it's easy and saves $$

Yay woke up feel alot better fingers crossed I continue to improve!! weight today 228 finally out of the 30's!!!

Thanks this forum is so awesome and you all so supportive!! It felt good to vent and get it off my chest

Thanks no problem

Thanks

Thanks yea I'm going to try one of those places Walmart didn't have any.

I've seen alot of posts that ppl were sent home with binders after surgery. I didn't get one does it help? Where can i buy one??

Ugh I'm Still in sooo much pain!!! I'm taking my antibiotics 4x a day due to a wound infection and loratab liquid pain reliever every 4 hrs I no longer have gauze packed in my open incision so it can drain and close on its own but as soon as my pain med wears off I can't even stand straight So frusterating!! I had RNY Sept 10th. Sorry just venting!! So gross!

DOS: 9/10/12 Starting wt: 284 Surgery wt: 238 Today wt: 232

Went to see my doc today he changed the packing on my open wound that's infected. Feeling alot better pre-surgery wt 238 today 232!! It's coming off slow but I'm not able to walk as much as I would like until my wound heals :/

Goodluck I hope everything goes well Praying for u and your surgical team!!

Thank u Maria she said oh u won't even feel it just relief from the pressure. Uh no i felt it and she finally numbed it. Im feeling alot better today pain wise now the nausea seems to be kicking in probably because of the strong antibiotic

Thank u thank u sending prayers and love ur way also I hope u can go home soon!!
