Had 2 on my top incision fall off last night. It no longer itches like the others. They aren't red blistered or draining just itchy Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Just around it where I scratched in my sleep. 2 pieces of tape from my top incision are off and it doesn't itch just the other 5 across my belly do so it must be tape Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Unsure. I've looked through the book they gave me. My main focus is Protein and Water. I'm just unsure. Had surgery Monday stage 1 til I left hospital. Stage 2 now and on 3 by next Monday seems so fast. I managed a yogurt and a Protein shake in a day. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Found a flat pillow helps this pain pressed against me when I roll Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

One issue left side abdomen pain. My pain has been great no meds really needed but 3 times since I had surgery a week ago, I've either turned over or trying to sit from laying position, left side a little below the waist line burns like fire. Only in the moment I move, a little tender after but felt literally like something tore. Anyone else Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Caterpillar to butterfly in 14 hours. So excited, nervous, wondering if this is right for me... Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Still don't think I drink enough. Don't feel dehydrated at all but still. I get hungry like every 3 hours. I never really was hungry before surgery just ate a lot and loved lots of food. Great part now is 3 or 4 bites I'm good. We had a church dinner yesterday and thought that would be hard but got a bit of chicken to try and a few pintos. Really surprised Surprised at the chicken going down, was my biggest fear, because so many people have troubles and its my favorite thing. Second surprise dinner wasn't like I dreaded. I fellowshipped more because I could use my mouth to talk and not stuff it. Surprised at people filling those plates didn't bother me. They gave me a big plate I exchanged for a dessert saucer, put my little dabs on it and was good to go. A sweet lady brought sf pudding as a dessert just for me and well anyone else too, mainly so I'd have something and the Pastor's wife had sf Popsicles too. I took a bit of pudding with me for last night. So it went great. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Its a burny sharp pain after I'm OK. Not severe enough for a pain pill because it goes away but definitely ouch don't move like that again. How is your eating coming. My going on stage 3 quickly had me a bit nervous. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I've been doing great recovery wise. Was supposed to start stage 3 today started yesterday. Anything I try is easy but don't think I eat as much as I should maybe why.
