  1. I had a drain, surgeon removed and said I could shower just recover it after. They gave me soft tape and large gauze They said just don't put any ointment, creams etc in it ...all incisions are glued except drain hole and he said to keep all wounds clean and dry
  2. Somehow I posted within your post so see above for response lol
  3. Nurse told me today, stools should get more and more firm, formed as days go by. I believe she said if ten days go by and you still have diarrhea,then there might be a problem, so call
  4. Did they put you on a PPI - proton pump inhibitor like prilosec or protonix??
  5. oic ..lol..ok I was wondering.. well I suppose if she is still nasceous then she should still be on it. I guess some ppl experience more nausea than others. Before I got chronic migraines, I never or rarely experiences nausea but now I get it easily and have a ongoing order for anti emetics even before my sleeve. Lol
  6. Hope tge zofran helps Never heard of anyone getting booked on zofran...it was and still is used to help ppl through chemo nausea not to make me one high...
  7. Pregnant?? Any new changes in food, brand, type, etc Vitamin deficiency symptoms? Just throwing some ideas out there...
  8. I would report the receptionists to the doctor even though you're welcome here too.just cause they should not be allowed to treat you like this especially under the circumstances it could be dangerous!!
  9. I'm using Flintstones complete chewable tablets...I take two..it's what my NUT put me on..I'm not a fan of the taste but tgey are tolerable
  10. much better finally passed gas. Never knew that could be such a celebration lol rofl Pain is still a burden and in the extra pain meds but still taking walks Thanks so much for ur support
  11. Have u tried the unflavored whey isolate and add to broth??
  12. Are you drinking sugar free fluids? Maybe it like me and sensitive to them. I'm allergic to aspartame but sucralose was fine until I needed to drink lotd of it Truvia made me throw up repeatedly... propel Water in the hospital was giving me nausea... I can only handle one premier Protein a day or every other day, sf popsicles by outshine only and Protein powder made with stevia as that is a natural made plant sugar substitute... And reallyy my body would be happier wo the premiere but my insurance paid for it so.i have like four cases of it lol Now I have heard some ppl having horrible nom stop nausea but it often eventually resolves...
  13. Had surgery Monday tarted Protein drinks today..doing powder with skim milk.. Had some tomato Soup made with skim milk, organic etc Noticed when I eat, I burp a lot and hear gurgling in my throat, sometimes a tiny bit of pain but dissipates fast...I can swallow a fairly large sip or sip rapidly.. maybe in going to fast???? I forget constantly that I need to go super slow...
  14. Congratulations for getting to losers bench. Wonder why ur incisions keep bleeding? Are they giving you blood thinners whike inpatient? Tgey gave me heparin injections but I still didn't bleed just making guesses. Glad your doing ok all in all
  15. It hurt a little when they took mine out but was do relieved to have it gone. I did not see how big it was bc he kinds had it to the side and quickly threw it away. It kept feeling like it was there for awhile even when it wasn't. I'm glad I didn't have to bring it home in the end
  16. I just got sleeved Monday...good fortune... keep NDA rough at the hospital but walking does actually help. Cheers to ya
  17. maybe ur insurance doesn't cover the zofran odt ...I think that's what they are called that melt under the tongue. They also have promethazine suppositories...not so fun but yeh... Still ask ur pharmacy about the zofran odt and see why you can't get that one ...
  18. They gave me zofran and regalan for nausea via the IV
  19. better today than yesterday...walked again a few times, got to sit Soup, popsicles and propel zero but that made. E feel nauseous. Gas pain rots though...worse than the incisions and looped off stomach pain combined !!How are you doing Butterflywarrior? Hope all went well and you are having an easy recovery!
