Anyone having surgery in Oct ?

I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

  • Hello all, I hope you all had successful surgeries and are well on your way to your goals and dreams. You guys have made me cry with your kindness and my wife has been very thankful for the support

I have been drinking propel at least every other day. It is zero calories too. Yesterday, all of a sudden I got this really uncomfortable pain. Like a very sore muscle of course under my large incision. I don't know if I did too much yesterday or what. I have my 2 week post op spot so I can bring it up then.

Was the pain almost like a pulling sensation?

Yes, I think when I reach up it definitely hurts, but even getting up and down now hurts more than it did this past weekend.

A few of us have gotten that pain. I only experienced it getting up. One member said she held a pillow against herself while she got up. The pulling sensation lasted on and off for a little over 3 weeks for me.

Thank you! I have been sneezing a lot and I hold a pillow, but I wonder if that is causing my pain. Sneezing really hurts!

I didnt sneeze for a while so it wasnt so painful

My doctor said if you get really sick off some thing new then go back to your liquids for 24 hours to give your time to rest. Hope this helps! !

The scale finally moved in the right direction today!!! Not much of a move but I'll take it!!!!

That is awesome, Edie! My scale must be broken ;)

I'm 2 weeks post op and I feel sick to my stomach. I don't want to eat or drink anything and I have a nasty taste in my mouth. What could be wrong? I was fine last week. Getting scared now.

So I'm leaving my 1 week post op appointment and feeling pretty darn good! Down 11 lbs since surgery and surgeon said she's happy with my progress. She wants me to up my protein intake which is going to be tough because the shakes are making me gag. Waiting on the unjury chicken soup mix to be delivered hoping that can help. Hope all of you are having a great day too!

I don't know what it is, don't know if I should go to the hospital or not.

No I didn't call them yet.

I had a nasty taste in my mouth from about 3 days after surgery until I got moved to puréed foods on Monday. It has now gone away completely. It really made it hard to down those protein shakes and I even went a whole day without protein because I was so sick. I was drinking Premeir shakes - which were fine before surgery, but switched over to unjury unflavored powder and mixed it in my soups. That got me through until I could try different puréed foods. Hopefully you can find some alternate ways to get around that sick feeling so you won't end up in the hospital. At my 2 week post op my doctor told me that bad smell and taste would go away. Two days later it is gone.

I agree with the other posters, though....it sure wouldn't hurt to call the office if you can't get anything down. Could get sick pretty quickly.
