Except for the gas I'm feeling really good, but taking an hour to consume 4 oz is driving me crazy.

I am scheduled for my procedure this Thursday June 11th. looking forward to being where you are.

You'll be here before you know it!

How many oz of liquid are u getting a day? Seems like I sipped all day and still didn't make it over 30 oz. I don't want to get dehydrated.

Well it's almost 8 pm and I'm at 28 oz. This is impossible!

Oh, I'm so glad it isn't just me. The doctor said I wouldn't get it all in at first, but I thought "how hard can that be?"

Are ur op sites itching today? Im going to try drinking 5-6oz/hr today.

Not today but they did itch yesterday. The "glue", or whatever it's called, is starting to peel off of one. The sites actually feel pretty good, except one that has a bruise all around it. My friend said that the site hurt bad for about 4 days and then it subsides. How are your feeling?

Feeling pretty good. Sipping is a full time job. The op sites still have glue but also a little red and itchy. I have a red whelmed itchy stripe under each boob...looks like they pulled off tape. Trying to keep ice packs on to help with itching. Mouth is always dry. Tongue feels weird and I'm bored. Other than that...I'm good. How have u been?

I have that same itchy stripe under one boob. I freak out for a second and had my husband take a look at it. My mouth isn't really dry but I constantly have an awful taste. I started with protein this morning. I'll have some yogurt in another 45 minutes. Sipping is a full time job. No wonder I had to take 3 weeks off work.

I ripped my strips off! They became itchy and come to find I'm allergic to them! But today is day 4 post op and I feel ok. I really need a belly band because I think most of my pain can and would be prevents of something held my stomach in place

I'm 4 days post op today too! Everything I (tmi disclaimer) fart the pressure eases. Walking helps alot. I've been walking 30 to 40 minutes ever day. Today I did my first grocery shopping trip. Wore me out, but I got my walking in and it move more of that gad alone.

I started a 99.9 temp today. Trying to stay positive.

Low grade fever is normal after surgery. Its our bodies way of dealing with the injury. If it gets to 101 them you should worry and call your surgeon at that point. Mine got as high as 99.9 a few days post op. Fever does make you feel bad so I did take Tylenol. Hope you a feeling on the mend soon.

Thank you! Sitting at home all day makes my mind go crazy...what was that? Was that a weird ache? I just need to breathe.

I was very lucky as far as my surgery went. No pain meds needed once I went home. I had a twinge or two from where they removed my port. My issue was coming down with a cold and raging sore throat two days after coming home from the hospital. It made it almost impossible to get my fluids in. Still struggling with getting my protein in. I go for my post op appointment tomorrow. I would love it if they advanced my diet but I know he won't. I am so sick of liquids.
