almost four weeks out from TT...pouch is very weird

Hey all.  I had my TT almost four weeks ago.  Lately, I am having difficulty keeping things down.  My pouch is super sensative.  I was on the computer earlier, and ate a 1 ounce bag of Goldfish crackers and then got really sick.  I guess they expanded too much or something.  I am not eating much but gained two pounds.  Have my monthly too so maybe that is why.  Can all the vomitting hurt the TT staples interiorly?  I feel ok, just get sick ALOT more now than I did before.  Is my body just adjusting or what?  Thanks in advance for any help u can give.  I am a mESS lol

I presume you are still wearing your garment or binder. Try removing it while you eat. This helped me. I even went back to basic foods I used after WLS to insure I was getting protein, protein, protein to help me heal inside and out. Good luck. Lay off the carbs.

Thank you very much.  I sure do appreciate your advise...I will follow it.  :}

Hi Kathleen!  did I see you at the support group Sat?  I sooo wanted to ask you a few questions about your TT with Dr. W.but you left early (so did I but you were quicker than me LOL).

Does he tighten muscles while doing the TT?  How long did you have the drains (one or 2?)?  I have to have a hernia repair at the same time and waiting for ins. approval right now.  Hoping to do this in Dec when the kids are out for Xmas break.  

Hi there.  I saw u...I had to leave because my kids were warring lol.  I had my TT four weeks ago tomorrow.  He did a hernia repair, TT, and Paninectomy (sp).  I had two drains in for about seven days.  My family called em my balls....lol...they were not that bad.  I am feeling pretty good. Going back to work Mon. the 29th.  I have to go pick up the kids now, but will write more later.  You sure look good...I have the same shirt u were wearing at Support Group...I actually almost wore it hehe.  You can call me too 512-1575.  Are u Military?  Took about three weeks for my approval.  You cannot lift anything or bend.  That is the hardest part.  I will ttyl ...Love k

Not military...I have Anthem BC of Ca. so I really don't know how this will go.  With a hernia I know that will be covered but the abdominalplasty may not...just waiting to see what they say.

I have a desk job for the most part.  Some walking but no lifting or anything like that and my son is 4 so no prob there and my 17 YO nephew lives with me so he can be helpful (when he wants to be anyway LOL).

I wasn't sure about the muscle-tightening and if Dr. W. did that or if he only removed skin.  I am sure with the hernia some re-structuring has to be done to the abdominal muscle. 

I was never nervous about my orig. WLS but this one is kinda scary to me.  I had never had surgery before WLS so had no idea what to expect...probably why I was not nervous.  Can't be scared of what you don't know, right?  And my WLS was pretty much a breeze.  But, I have heard and read the the TT is way different and that is what makes me nervous.
