    It'll get better. My NUT said my lack of energy was totally normal. Everyone will feel different initially right after this surgery. Stay hydrated, rest and move about as you can so you don't develop blood clots. I didn't start feeling like myself until about 6 weeks.

    I made this the day before so I could just come home and heat it up for dinner. I work 12 hour days in the ER and didn't want to come home hungry and have to fix something. It was very good. My family thought it was lasagna lol. I sliced it in sections. I'll freeze some so I won't be eating this everyday and get tired of it. So glad someone thought of this delicious meal ????

    Well this is all new to me so am just trying to figure it all out. Yesterday I took colace and Miralax to keep it loose and clean house. Hoping I'll just need to take colace everyday. I am learning a lot about all of this. So we will see what works best.

    What is the benefit of dulcax? I'll try anything never to feel that again!

    Dulcax is just a laxative. I took it the day before surgery.

    I just came back from Disney with my granddaughters. I took it once while there. Works overnight well. No cramping, but helps things move about.

    Apply tegraderm, we use it in the hospitals to cover your if, almost reminds you of Saran Wrap but sticky on one side. You can get it at cvs, Walgreens, Walmart, target etc . I'm going to myrtle beach so I will be applying it over my incisions. You can apply right over your scar or put a cotton ball over your scar and tegraderm over top. No Water gets through! Last summer I got my nipples pierced, I went to the ocean and applied degrade fm over so I didn't expose them to the Water. NO issues, no problems!

    My tape has come off, but I notice my belly button isn't quite healed. I use Neosporin. Taking my grands to Disney tomorrow. I will get this. Thanks for the suggestions.

    I found a ricotta bake on Pinterest that I can't wait to try. Different from the one already mentioned

    8 oz of Ricotta cheese

    1/2 cup grated Parmesan

    1 large egg beaten

    1 tsp of Italian seasoning

    Salt and pepper to taste

    1/2 cups of marinara sauce

    1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

    Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish.

    Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese.

    Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave.
