  1. Yep call your Dr it could be something simple. I hope You start feeling better soon
  2. @@sofianoemi You don't have a JP drain do you? I started having some sharp pains like that, I took my drain out (it had stopped working) and as soon as I did the pain went away. Oh PS: disclaimer; if you do have a JP I am in no way telling you to take yours out! I had permission on a Sunday from my surgeon because I'm in nursing and have dealt With JP drains. ????
  3. @@shayshay24 I had surgery and was back at school in 7 days. I'm only taking a couple of classes so The longest I was in class was organic chem for 3 hours on tues. The first class was a little rough but after that I was good
  4. @@mnmlst Good question I was wondering the same thing. I have the same feeling in the morning and I'm 3 weeks out with a week of meds left. I'm going to ask for a refill For next month and then see what happens when I try to stop, maybe a week before I actually run out so I will know if I need more or not.
  5. @@jasminnegrin A few of my favorites are crab cakes, turkey meatballs, blended egg salad, ricotta cheese bake, and of course the refried beans with cheese, sour cream and a touch of hummus!

  7. @@kimpossible67 I've had c-sections (3) and I asked that same question and got all the "oh it's not near as bad" well I can tell you the First moments directly after waking up were worse! For about 15min..the two days in the hospital I was on morphine but still had some pain (not too bad) first 2 days at home worse! I am not a medication taking person but after day two at home I called my surgeon and told Them the pain pills were pretty much worthless...they gave me another prescription for a much stronger pain pill and I was good after that. I think a lot of my issues also came from having a JP drain and staples. Now , after a week all the pain was pretty much gone. I was lucky not to have any gas ect...so I try not to complain, for me it was not "painless"'and I don't know why I ever thought it would be?! It's surgery! Glad it's over and glad I did it????
  8. @@Bufflehead I've noticed that too at times and then all the sudden it will work again. Weird!
  9. @@amponder That's just brutal!
  10. @@Shell88 Ok well I may have to try that on the next order, I keep hearing then cappuccino by nectar is really good so I think I'm going to order the sample packs this time.
  11. Oh I do take the sublingual dots too. It's just something my surgeon does while we are at the check up.
  12. @@Banded4Life You are going to have to change your name to sleeved4life
  13. @@EhimyCD I would think you could use an alternative but I won't tell you to go against your DR. I would however tell you to call and ask them once you find something comparable to what they want you to take.
  14. @@Proud2BMe I would think as long as you have a primary provider to check your labs ect...along the way you will be ok (assuming you dont have any complications) I only see my surgeon once a month for a few months. My first post-op appt was another leak test, b-12 shot, staple removal, and 3 min talking to. The next on is probably b-12 and weight. Not a whole lot. If the ridiculously expensive visits weren't covered by insurance I'm not sure I would keep going just for a shot and weights but I will be a "good" patient and continue on....
  15. @@JerseyGirlShirl I stop at the first sign of any tightness. It's hard to explain the feeling I just know. Sometimes I will just count my bites And stop before the feeling.
  16. @@shayshay24 It stinks but you will have a lifetime of thanksgivings! Make a nice pumpkin protein shake if you can have it to "kinda" make up for the sweet potato pie. Don't roll your eyes at me!!! LOL!! I'm sure @@Kindle probably has one??
  17. @@Shell88 I tried a few and bought a big container of the nectar fuzzy naval that everyone raved about...it's ok but I haven't used it since making a few Popsicles out of it. It Doesn't taste like any "orange juice" I've ever tried before I also bought the unflavored GNC protien powder and it def changes the flavor of things so its a big fat LIAR! Protien powders are hard!
  18. @@shayshay24 Yes I had surgery 3 weeks ago tomorrow, it went well. I have been lucky to not have any issues and I'm losing at a nice pace so no complaints over here!

  20. @@Suzzann I don't have an appetite but thanksgiving is my first day of "real" food so I'm going to just put a bite of different things on my plate, start with the protein and go from there....I'm not going to push it, my family all know so they are expecting me to not eat much...no pressure there
  21. @@shayshay24 Welcome! I don't know about the spotting because I didn't have that issue but hopefully someone here can help you with that
  22. @@Shell88 Yep, I'd ask them, depending on how many your allowed you may not need to add protien to other things right now....unless you just want to but I didn't like adding protein powder it changed the flavor of what I'm eating "unflavored"'my buttocks! I did after surgery because I HAD to since I couldn't really Even drink that well.
