  1. How did you all get the sticky residue left behind from the surgical bandages off of your body? I would think it would wear off after three weeks but I guess not. Any suggestions?

      I left mine on my stomach until I removed the stitches. So, I had a very black stomach for the last 2 weeks. 2 days ago I got in the tub with a bottle of witch hazel and a bottle of baby oil .. The baby oil was the best. Put it on and let it soften a bit then scraped it off with a case knife. no sharp but the the serated teeth were needed. Also used the teeth of a striaght comb to scrape. It took a while and was messy.. I suggest to have a roll of paper towel to rub the residue off the knife and comb otherwise it tough to get off the tub.

      I didn't have stitches just the surgical glue. I was able to get some of it off but struggling with the rest I will try the baby oil today

  2. Today I am 3 weeks out and feeling good! I started puree foods a few days ago and that was exciting. I suggest purchasing portion control cups. I got some that are 2 ounces and 4 ounces. I am literally full off of the 2 ounce cups. I am struggling with my water intake, that is something that I need to focus on. Anyone struggling on getting all of their daily fluids in?
