@@layknee damnnn that's crazy! I bet you feel refreshed and look it too, those iv's give glows lol. One of my incisions opened up and had weird pus coming out of it just a tiny bit though, but its my fault because I peeled it, then I squeezed it. I got crazy glue and sealed it back up. I hope it doesn't get infected.

oh boy. Lol are you one of those people that have to pick at scabs? Awwwwww. They don't use regular crazy glue hunny. Hopefully you're all sealed up. Knock on wood for no infection. They took the last two stitches out this morning and just added more Steri strips. I want to peeled them off but I try to resist the urge.

I did have a stomach cramp that got so bad they had to give me 4mg of morphine.

[Bronxmerci 312]

@@layknee lol I am not a picker well kinda, it depends on what type of scab lol, its 50/50 because this scab was just looking at me asking to be picked, I never dared to pick at my csection though lol. I noticed the glue was different when it dried like a rock lol but I needed something quick. They should have put stitches on mine sheesh, everything I've gotten lately, is just glued, even my c section was glued, and my son kicked it open when he was 1 week old, he was very tall and I always let him sleep on me. At least your strips prevent you from looking at the incision. Morphine, how I miss it, sorry about your bad cramps, but I bet the morphine handled that quick. I'm glad I didn't get anymore percocets at my post op appt, because I liked them way too much lol, I might have gotten addicted to them.

[layknee 357]

Funny enough they could have Steri-Strips on top of the dermabond for you.

@@layknee yeah I kno, for my csection I had em in for like a week and they fell off, when I woke up from surgery I was like wtf when I saw them, I was like but why did they leave them like this, who knows why. All I know is that seeing them made me mess with it. I even put a bandage on it now so that I can let them be lol. How are you feeling now? On my first day of puree I made really bad decisions I didn't feel the full feeling and kept picking at things, because of the hunger and desperation, but now I'm back and I've been journaling what I'm eating and drinking and the calories and Protein and I'm feeling crazy full off 2oz now but not with liquids, I think that goes through me. I hope you feel better!

i've been using myfitnesspal to track. I did a cream of mushroom Soup and I strained off the mushrooms added baby food beef

[Bronxmerci 312]

@@layknee I stocked up on cream Soups, they were a dollar at pathmark only to find out that they weren't on my plan, so I had to return them. I did boil chicken last night for 3 hours so that it could be extra juicy and then I blended it with a potato so that I could have it for lunch and dinner today. I also blended a few bananas and added GENEPRO to it. I made my goals yesterday and was happy lol, its a bit easier when the liquid diet ends. I can't use any of the aps you guys were mentioning because I still have a blackberry, I'm attached to it lol and haven't gotten a better phone in years. Maybe next year I'll take time to back up my photos and get a new one, but idk lol even my bestfriend said she was gonna get me one and I begged her not to because I really like the simplicity of the blackberry. How are you feeling today?

Had my two week check up yesterday and everything seemed fine. I mentioned to him that I was on the last of my painkillers after kinda weaning myself off them a bit. He said the pain was normal. There is a large stitch in my abdomen holding two muscles together until they heal over where the tools went in. He said it will take 4 more weeks to dissolve.

I was holding up okay walking everyday with a bare minimum of painkillers. Yesterday I didn't get a chance to walk as much as usual so I thought the pain would be less:

But last night HOLY SH&t. I was in agony. Couldn't even sit comfortably in a chair on on the couch. I could literally feel the stitches in my muscles pulling. I was in tears by the time I got in bed, even after downing the last 15 ml of lortab.

Im calling the docs office today to demand more painkillers- because this is fucking ludicrous. I cannot go 4 weeks like this. I own my own business and I can't be crying on the couch for 4 more weeks.

Are you guys still in pain? Still on painkillers?

[Bronxmerci 312]

@@superbariatricbabe geez, you had 2 weeks worth? I was only given 4 days worth. I'm not in pain though, I was for 3 days after I ran out but now its nothing. At my 1 week checkup I asked for more and was told no, to use tylenol. I do get the uncomfortable feeling while sleeping and at night time, its annoying but other than that I feel great. I hope you feel better and was it always bad or did it get worse as time went by? I don't want to be in pain next week. I think my pain tolerance is high because I compare everything to child birth lol, I've been doing a lot, I even picked up my 40lb baby just once because I did it on reflex. I'm walking miles a day, idk if its helping me heal and I'm also taking extra zinc. I hope you get your pain killers because all doctors are different and pain freaking sucks.

i feel like crap. Have you ever tried to rest in the ER ? They didn't have any rooms open so I've been down here in the ER. NO SHOWER!!! not that much sleep. Irradically medicated. No clear plan of care. I hope I get a room today. I want to go home.
