Well I'm 3 days post op and trying to adjust. Had nausea and vomiting the first two days. Doctor prescribed anti nausea meds....that helped. Can't do the Protein Shakes or jello....too sweet. So it's been Water & popsicles. Woke up this morning, two of my wounds filled with pus and redness. Should I be worried? Think I'm allergic to the steri strips....feel like crying:57_cry:

If you see pus, call your doctor. That could mean there is an infection and that is the last thing you want.

Well guys, went to see my doctor yesterday and he was just as astonished as I was when he saw what my belly looked like. The culprit was the Tegaderm film strip used to cover my incisions. I am allergic to them! Glad to know it wasn't an infection. He assured me this will pass in time, to keep the incisions dry with some gauze and liquid Benadryl (children's) for the itching. On another note, I'm finally able to stomach my Premier Protein shakes again.....yay!

Happy to hear it! Mine itch so bad I'm wondering if I am allergic to them too. Will ask doc on Thursday.

I tried drinking my Premier shakes 3 days post op and they did not sit well. Tried again yesterday, 7 days post-op) and it went down fine. Yeah!

You could be too. The Benadryl really helped with the itching. My doctor was so surprised and baffled. I started crying but he assured me everything will heal beautifully. He added Tegaderm to my allergy list.....thank God. I'm 6 days post-op and I'm starting to feel much better. I had a moment of weakness and denial when the allergy happened but I shook it off after seeing my doctor yesterday. Hugs and kisses always work for me....lol

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
