Topic: Need someone to talk to ,Having problems healing
I had the laproscopic RNY bypass on the 16th of august and on the 18th had emergency surgery for
bowel obstruction. I now have a nasty incision that isn't healing very well ( Dr says it's fine) it oozes alot . I'm in lots of discomfort some pain. I'm not able to get myself in a good mind set especially when I see people that had the surgery after me walking around like nothing happened ,It's really tough. I am starting to feel like I'm never going to heal and be able to live a normal life. I am wondering if anyone else had anything like this happen to them after surgery. Any  feedback  would be appreciated.

 Everyones taste is differant so you may have to try a few before you find one you like. Would suggest getting samples sizes.

I like the vanilla & chocolate unjury which I order online.

Good luck on your journey.

Hi ... just want to say good luck with your surgery.   Dr. Bell was my doctor.  I would give them a call and just ask them the status of yiur paperwork.  I found his office to be extremely helpful and  very pleasant whenever I had questions.

The only ones I could seem to stomach were the "Pure Protein" shakes.  You can find them at Vitamin Shoppe, GNC and some grocery stores.  They are ready to drink and come in several flavors (Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana, cookies and cream and peanut butter cup).  They have 35 grams of protein each, so two shakes gets you through for the day.  I have to say I got REALLY sick of them by the end of 3 weeks or so, but they got me to soft foods.  Now I pretty much ignore the protein shakes altogether and go for light cheeses and greek yogurt to get my protein in.

Best of luck.
