My date is April 9th :-)

That's crazy. I'm 14 days post op and mine hurts but more like a soreness inside. I asked my surgeon yesterday and he said the same thing plus "I had to deep stitch that incision because it's the one I fed the stapler through.

I understand... Mine was so bad it hurt to take a breath or even move a certain way... Thankfully it didn't last long.

Thanks. Sounds like mine. Hoping I'll feel better tomorrow after all "tomorrow is another day."

My surgeon told me I could have grilled or baked fish (as long as it's soft) so....DINNER. I probably won't eat half of this but I'm ecstatic :)

Don't over use protein in a single shake, the body only uses 30 grams per meal.,if you drink it all at the same time your body doesn't benefit!

I make 16 oz and sip it throughout the day. Since I cant drink it all at once and have to spread it out. Normally it takes me about 10 hours to finish that along with the water and gatorade I have to have daily. I just find it easy to know that once that shake is done it complete.

For about a week and a half I was having the worse nausea 24/7 everything was making me nausea... Water, crystal light, broth, even the sugar free Popsicles...I was dry heaving like crazy and nothing was coming up, a few times I had the white foam but other than that nothing. I felt horrible and didn't feel like I had energy for anything, it was all I could do just to get up to go to the bathroom. I called my doctor and he told me to go in... I ended up being put back into the hospital for severe dehydration and needing vitamin infusions...I thought I was taking in enough fluids but apparently it wasn't enough. I can't express enough no matter how hard you may think it is to get you fluids it, do it anyway...

Oh wow!!! I pray that you get better very soon!!! XX

So apparently I'm dehydrated because I started pureed and have only been sipping water. My BP dropped again to 89/50. The doctor says water won't do because we need salt. He's making me sip broth the rest of the day. If my BP isn't up tomorrow then I have to go in for an infusion.

Thank you Jess! I feel a million times better now... =).

Gixxergirl- make sure to take care of you!

I'm praying for you hoping that all goes well with your blood pressure. If you have to get the infusion I pray that it causes your blood pressure to become normal again.

Thank you. Please don't stop sipping your broth.

I think I have a problem....I lifted my daughter because I had no choice. She had an accident and I had to get her cleaned up at 2am, well this morning I started to hurt inside my abdomen and it's a stinging/burning feeling and it hurts to bad to want to drink anything so I think I might be getting dehydrated. It's not my incisions, it's my insides like 2 inches to the right of the largest incision (to right towards the middle of my stomach. I am afraid I did something bad. It hurts to move around or get up:/ I don't know what to do.

G2 Gatoraid will help too.

Please call your doctor's answering service. This surgery is too major to be guessing.

I agree. You need to speak to whoever is on call.
