Topic: RE: 2 weeks out and having redness and heat at incision
omg. i hope that doesn't happen to me, the bottom of my incision is now poking out a bit. do you think this happens around the belly button from the weight of our stomachs? are you wearing a binder? i haven't been wearing mine. i looked at my incision today and it is still closed, but looks like it has stretched a little like a stretch mark. maybe from the swelling under the skin? there is a big knot under the skin there like there is more scar tissue in the spot where it is red than anywhere else on my incision. is that how your's was?

Topic: RE: Where is everyone??? lol
I am doing good! Learning to eat slow has really stopped me from throwing up at every meal... I am totally timing myself and making sure I take at least 20 minutes... Only took 3 wks to realize that I eat wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too fast and it's not what I am eating but HOW I am eating it! Duh!
Went to a post-op class yesterday that reminded me what to do etc... It was good to have a refresher... Starting out the day with a warm liquid (as was suggested to me by my nut) has really helped..I wasn't doing it everyday and wasn't making the connection that it did make a difference... sometimes I am so dense!! haha

Topic: RE: 5 DPO Not sure how I feel ..
My first week was HELL. I had my surgery April 19th, and i had the worst naseau in the world. i puked, and puked, and puked some more, all with a side of pain.I couldnt even get water down. I was constantly back at the hospital for an IV and pain killers, they just kept the IV in, and i went back every 4-6hrs. I cried, and cried somemore. I didnt think it was ever going to end. It took about a week of anti-bile pills, (which im still on) pain killers ( i couldnt do any liquid had to be needle form) and IV nutrients to keep me going. But it slowly went away. Am only 16 days post-op, but feeling soo much better. It will pass..eventually..
Topic: RE: Please Share your first meal after liquids
I havn't had a meal since March 30, 19 days of HP Ensure, Surgery, then 2.5 weeks of full fluids. Today was my first day of "solid foods" i had instant oatmeal for breakfast, cream of potato soup and turkey salad for lunch then 1/4 cup of LF cottage cheese with pepper and a small chunk of Watermelon. mmmmmmm..it was soooo tasty!! Nice to have something with a bit of consistancy back!
Topic: Pray for me tomorrow
I can't even write this well but if you go to my blog you will understand. Please say a prayer that tomorrow discisions will be made that will help in my recovery. Wtih everything going on I feel weak and tired. My hematoma is growing again and I have a steady drip or even small flows coming from my belly button.
I want to be with the rest of you and be able to eat, drink and not feel nauseated.

Topic: RE: I discovered crab cakes! Yum!
I need the fat so I didn't look at that. I'm actually struggling to get it in without eating red meat which doesn't agree with me.
