    Exersize post op

    I did my 2nd workout since the op tonight.
    Now I feel really sick. Don't even want fluids.
    I didn't lift anything heavy. Now I'm worried.

    Re: Question About Drain Incision

    My other incisions leaked green and I asked the nurse why it was green. Her response. "It's not green".
    I think she's colour blind.

    Either way. I was fine. But yes, I experienced it too.

    I didn't have a Pre op diet at all. But I was only just scraping into the morbid obese bmi. So it may not have been needed.

    It's mostly happening during my evening meal.

    Re: Is my Dr.'s post OP diet unusually strict???

    The size that they cut our stomachs down to is smller nowadays.

    Just a thought, that might be the reason for so many different food plans.

    I guess it depends what size "tube" we have now.

    Why do we vomit?

    I'm 9 days post op and even though I'm still on liquids, I find myself vomiting on occasion.

    What are the reasons you found yourself vomiting?

    Re: Day 4 post op - craving solids

    clear liquids? Isn't that only water?

    The hospital served me custard and jelly so I figured soft stuff like yoghurt and soup would be ok.

    Now I'm petrified that I've torn my staple line!!!

    Don't stress sweetie.
    I didn't even get put on a pre-op diet. My final meal (12hours before surgery) was pizza and nothing went wrong with me. It's understanding the way food controls us.
