Re: Post Op questions(LONG)

ANNE- what shake did you finally like?,I have many samples from

vitalady, I just tried the Pro blend 55 swiss choc with some cookie

dough syrup and couldnt stomach it, maybe I'm not putting enough

sryup in. How much syurp do you use ? the binder made me itch to

much so I havent worn it since the 1st week after SX, I'm going to

call the doc ont he bath thing and see what he says. Thanks for

your input.

I didn't wear a bra for one week I stayed home too lol I didn't want o knock

someone's head off *giggle *

Baths as soon as you are healed and drain ports are healed .

someone told me to add 2 teaspoons of vanilla or chocolate sugar free pudding in

and mix

Post Op questions(LONG)

Thought I would start a new thread of Post Op questions. This will

help the Pre-ops as well. I have a few myself so maybe someone can

answer mine. I'm 3 wks post op and seem to have a prob wearing a

Bra. Is this normal?. I had Open so the inscion is real close the

wear the bra is, doesnt rest on it but right above it. I find

afterabout a hour I am hurting and need to get it off. If this is

normal then when can you comfortably wear one? Also when can you

take a bath, where you can just sit and soak for a while, inscion

wet the whole time. I miss my baths, I have a HUGE tub and love to

relax in it!!!

And one more, What can you do to make the shakes more TASTY!!! I

have some idea's but thought maybe other people have some as well

that can help the pre-ops or recent post-ops that have a hard time

with them, like myself. I use sugar-free fudgesicles in the Choc

ones and frozen fruit (no sugar added) for the Vanilla ones. Someone

else here suggested sugar free Tang in the Vanilla, I will try that

and see if it works. Any other Ideas???

If anyone else has any question to throw out there for recent post-

ops LET " S HERE THEM!! and pre-ops that have questions about right

after SX.

Oaky I think this is long enough!!! LOL

OHHHHH dear...I drank from a straw just once...OHHH the pain! never

again..but then I have had alot of problems with gas.

[Guest guest]

I drink with straws.... never caused me a gas problem. The protein itself

seems to sometimes increase gas, but in due time, the gas does get better as

your body adjusts to protein.

Take care

OK, you guys are all firsts for me.

I get last gas with a straw. Maybe because I " sort " the air?

Well, so my surgeon told me as well no straws.. So I never used them then

and now. I did have a gentleman write me the other day his wife is 2 weeks

post op experiencing lots of gas, bloating, nausea.. After a few do's and

don'ts .......this being one.. She has had no more problems and even

called her surgeon to ask him what he had not told her these things..

In regards to the bra question, I don't know what a " sleep " bra is, but I bought

a couple of sports bras from the Lane catalog that I've been wearing to

bed. I normally wear a 48DD. I bought the sports bras in a 52, and they are

very comfortable for sleeping in. Maybe these would work post-op? I'm hoping

they will, cause that's what I have. :-)
