pebulz

Congrats!!! Thats awesome

My dr gave me xanax to take the week before and they gave me something once i got to.the hospital to calm me down and it helped alot!

They both sound good i will have to try once i can eat lol

Im feeling better everyday yesterday i got new pain meds that are working much better for me so that makes a huge difference im doing more on my own then i was and feeling like their is light at the end of the tunnel lol (Sunday i felt like it was never gonna get better and the pain was gonna kill me lol) today is 1 week and im down according to my scale 7lbs

Finally starting to feel a little better after getting better pain meds yesterday i am able to move better and sleep

Well im not sure because my dr allows it so again every dr is different

I didn't use a special soap but after my shower the night before had to rub with an antibacterial wipe and again the next morning before i left for the hospital it's to help prevent infections

Just had my post op dr visit 6 days post op down 3.5lbs not much but ill take ot since i was told u gain 10-20 lbs in hosp from all the fluids .....he took out some staples and left one in each incision and 2 on the largest incision because i have a tendency of opening back up a little ....he alsp gave me stronger pain meds which im happy about cause the better i feel the more i can walk ....i go back in a week and am on liquids for i think 2 more weeks......cuz in 2 weeks i see the dietitian so i think she will tell me what i can and can not eat

I agree!! While i was in the hospital my cousins wife who has recently lost 100lbs put on facebook that she is so proud of herself for losing so much weight on her own and not taking the easy way out.....first off she is bulimic and lives off diet pills and laxatives and thinks no one knows but many in my family do except her dad sister and obviously husband ....immediately family members said how rude it was and she tried to say it had nothing to do with me but we all know it did she deleted it off fb and thinks im not going to confront her but she is mistaken ....it infuriated me in the hosp 1 day after surgery in the pain i was in to see a post like that on fb let alone from someone who i know did it in the most unhealthy way possible and while she has many people fooled to think she did it on her own

Omg i finally found something to relieve some pain .....i held a towel to pull my stomach in and boy does it help so this morning i put on a pair of nylon underwear that kinda pull u in and i can actually walk without excruciating pain!

I go the drs tomorrow anyway and i'll have him check it

Im only 5 days post op and feel crappy most the time

Good luck tomorrow! !!!

Im drinking my first protein drink post op right now and im having an EAS AdvantEDGE Carb control choc fudge and it's not bad

Ok so im 5 days post op and my pain has all been om my left side and just now i felt my left side and it feels hard...is that normal??? Im nervous now
