I have to ask... Do you eat the whole piece of toast or begal? How do you fit it in? Is it all you eat for that meal?

Mine was given to me in hospital.

I had one come completely out and now it wont close and hurts like hell. I'm going to get it checked out.

I'm 4 weeks out. Still have a lot of pain and open wounds. I wear mine all day and take it off at night. I couldn't walk more than 10 mins without it.

I'm with you Happy. So tired with very little exertion. Work about half days this week. My incisions are still not closed and wear a belly band. Just very tired of feeling like this. Want to get back to normal. My surgery was June 30 as well.

I'm trying. Your support helps a lot.

I'm 44. Some pain is deminishing. Still one side is terrible.

I still have the nasty taste but is not all the time now. Tried some shredded chicken last night and it was good. Almost felt human again. Still sleeping in a recliner. Not recovered from the pain yet. I'm just a mess right now. Emotions all over the place.

Ok. I will.

No smell just yellowish stuff

Thank you. I am going to get checked out this week. Some are still weaping stuff... Gross i know. Sorry. Im just not used to being down. I ride motorcycles and run my own business. This whole thing is killing me. It might be time for some help.

So my husband took me to the grocery last night. My incisions hurt so bad that i wanted to cry. So by the time i got to car i was in full blown crying fit. We got home and i was worse... I just cried hysterically. Feeling like I'm never getting better. Supposed to go on a family vacation next week. I felt a little better emotionally after the break down though. 19 days out. 29.7 lbs down.

I'm counting on it. It has made this process harder than i thought. I just want to be better.

Hernia repair. I had one years ago with the mesh. Well in the last couple of years I've had terrible stomach pains. The mesh had torn free and rolled up snd embedded into fat and stomach. Intestines protruding. So they had to remove mesh snd reconstruct belly button with a leather type matetial with titanium screws each one with it's own holes. And the bypass at the same time. Lots of trauma.

I'm guessing that's true. I have 17 or so holes trying to heal. Its not good.

I appreciate that.

I'm trying. I really want to be normal again. Whatever that is. I still can't lay down in the bed and sleep in a recliner.... Hope to be back in bed soon. I'm getting my walks in. Are you all still weak at this point?

I did manage a bit. Tuna a bit of mayo salt pepper. Then put in a food chopper. It was pretty good. It stayed down.

It's ok. I definitely need prayer. Feeling confused.

Thank you. Tonight I'm trying tuna salad. Wish me luck.

I have gone from not being to go to uncontrollable pooping. Uggg

I found that i put a cup of water in micro and the steep camamille tea then add to my water bottle with ice. Love it. Only way i get my water in

My surgery was june 30. It was a complicated surgery with a lot of reconstruction from a bad hernia repair. I will try that. I am going to get rechecked next week. I wish this was easier but its not and i am in a state of regret right now...

How much do you consume at one time. Im scared to try anything. I am not getting shakes down either. Too sweet and make my mouth taste terrible. I cant get my butt to work because i don't know what to feed myself and am in so much pain still and cry all the time

I'm still on mushy... Yogurt. Pudding, eggs. What are you eating?
