Yes so hateful that i told her that its obvious that needed medical attention people always come on here with stuff like this and it ends up going back and fourth of " no im fine i dont need any help" it was not hatefull what so ever, she sutured herself like she is a cow, i dont even think doctors who can do surgery just decide to sort it themselves, she put her self in further risk of issues herself. You go through these drastic measures to then cut corners? I said that this is clearly infected and can not be treated on its own, and shutting in the infection her self was a bad idea.

I am not hateful whats so ever. If someone wants to be dramatic that is their problem this is a public forum.

Look how bad it looks and her concern is keeping the piercing from closing up? anyones first instinct would be to take it out, and focus on the infection. I am not coming back to this post easier. But if i had something to hide i would not have put " edit-" I said nothing hurtful. I was honest. simple. and i do not want anyone else seeing this post thinkng " im a vet so i am now qualified to treat myself" As you can see i have not replied to her as she is just being dramatic. Bye , I wont be coming back to this post either.

Nice edit dreamingsmall, maybe you should take your 'hate of people like me' and beg off. So much for a positive community here. I don't have the luxury of being hypochondriac or a tit but that's for your negative remarks. You may have edited them but I still got to read the original from the email notification. I think this will be my last post on here. To everyone that tried to convince me that I was basically going to die, I'm happy to report I'm just fine. To everyone else that was supportive, I thank you and wish you the best on your journey.

Hypocondriac? LOL I am a hypochondriac for saying thats obvs an infection lol . mkay. " people that were trying to convince me i was going to die" your so disrespectful and rude, those people who were worried we trying to help . wow. i wont be on your post again.

Ah I guess if that's all you posted why did you feel the need to edit?

I do think if someone comes asking for advice and then doesn't want to hear it it's a bit odd. But sadly common.

what does the piercing have to do with anything, seriously?

What do you think magically happens when humans are sutured? It's the same instruments, the same suture, the same suture patterns! Do you think it's somehow special when it's done to people?

We even use some of the same drugs, because sometimes that's the best treatment for certain types of bacteria. Hence why I received a 2nd prescription for Cephalexin.

Yes, because anyone that has completed as much medical schooling as a human Doctor has, needs someone like you dictating their actions in regards to a wound.

dreamingsmall please don't comment on my stuff again.

I will gladly delete this post if someone can tell me how because I can't seem to find where or how to do so...

LOL The questioning is almost funny, dude its not that serious, I edited because I read through the post after and many peopele had already said she isnt a cow lol and shouldnt be sutering her self blabla , i realised its just one of those dramatic posts were they come back and say " your all wrong i did the right thing im fine" i had thought she wanted genuine help but thought f** it theres no point on this post, its really that simple lol take it or leave it . its quite obvious most people who posted wasted their time by her responce, but please dont quote me as id rathernot get notifications from this post. but unless you see someones post maybe dont jump in lol

Stop being silly, you sutured yourself when you had an infection lol this is getting dumb. There are many different methods actually as many people pointed out, obvcourse everyone else is wrong and you are right. Brilliant. Dont bother deleting your post keep it here lol have fun. Dictating their actions for a wound, why did you post if you didnt need any advice on the wound ? you high? You had it all sorted but still posted like you needed help , as i thought for attention. lol bye.

Ladies, that does not look normal and if a doctor tells you its normal he should have his license revoked. That is just my opinion.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

      1. NickelChip

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
