March 11, 201412 yr Author Hey Christina! My first week has been HELL! Sooo nauseated and the pain... Yuck! I saw my nutritionist yesterday and she gave me some tips. If you have chocolate Protein or vanilla: Mix chocolate with "PB2" it's dehydrated Peanut Butter at GNC or Vitamin stores. I tried it today- it tastes just like peanut butter cups! (Freeze for a fudge pop treat!) Mix vanilla with a bit of orange extract, and vanilla sugar free pudding and freeze for a dreamsicle!

March 12, 201412 yr Author Glad to here you are doing a little bit better. I am going to see the dr this afternoon think I might have and infected incision it red swollen and itching like crazy . And sticky to the touch. . Oh no! Is it draining yellow/white Fluid? Smell? Fever? Itching can be normal it means it is healing but super read/ warm to touch/ draining/ pain is not. So definitely get it checked just in case! (Sorry I'm a nurse) I've put on m workout clothes for the first time since surgery, gonna go for a walk outside and try to get this weight loss going!
March 13, 201412 yr Ya I went the dr said it looks good the redness is from an allergic reaction to dermbond glue . I can put hydrocortisone cream . Now my only wish is to eat some food . They still have me on the liquid only diet .
