April 2019 Surgeries!

[TxStar09 67]

Update: Tomorrow will be a full week since surgery, but I had my one week follow-up today. I am down 15 lbs from surgery date! Feeling pretty good, just a bit tired. Ready to be able to eat something with a little more nutritional value. Getting in my Water and Protein, so I’m feeling good about that.

Well after a few days I have a bad rash and can not get it to go away even with Benadryl it will not go away ugh!! Anyone else break out?

Did you figure out what’s causing it?? Looks like a medication reaction....I’d call your doctors office

the straight lines to the left tell me this is some kind of contact dermatitis..are you using a heating pad? changed your detergent? wearing new clothes or underwear? sitting next to an animal your allergic to?

Great news!

Anyone else get really nauseous on their first day of the liquid diet? I’m only 6 hours in and had my first Protein Drink and oh my.

[undeadDharma 26]

I was, I didn’t get any Protein drink. They gave me broth with powder in it, and the smell alone made me so nauseous. It will pass. Ask them for the 3 day patch. It worked very well on me

My surgery is tomorrow; I'm first on the surgery list. Starting to get a tad wee bit nervous. More nervous, lol.

It'll be easier than you realize now. And once they put you out it's very easy. It takes courage to take this step to extend your life. Wishing you the best. You've got this!

[undeadDharma 26]

I was very nervous but these surgeons do like 4 of these a day. You’ll be fine. Sending prayers your way
