2 days post op and amazing I am almost out of pain. My regular lap band slipped, probably because I overate and threw up a lot, anyway, learned the hardest way. Docotor replaced lapband and added stomach plication. It was hard to decide whether to do this because there is so little information on it. I commit to updated my blog for those who have the option and can't find any information. There was no more pain than my originally lapband surgery and so far so good.
Got my stitches out today, I have blood blisters from the bandaids, and they itch uncontrollably, put aveno cream on hope that works, antibiotic will be next. Feel good, drove, errands, 2 shakes, lots of water, wanted ice cream but don't we all. Next visit is tuesday, hope to loose the water and gas weight by then.
can't believe it is almost 4 weeks post op, still being careful and paranoid someone will punch me in the stomach,
starting feeling hungry and am satisfied with a teaspoon of mush. first post op check is in a month, probably will get a fill. not supposed to start solids for another week but slipping in some chicking here and there, tastes good.
almost healed, don't see much of a difference with the plication verses the lapband but may be too soon to tell.
lost approx 12 lbs and then nothing for about a week. drinking 64 oz water per down and trying for 90 g protein either shakes or greek yogurt or ricotta cheese.
all and all things are good
Tomorrow will be 2 weeks, unbelievable. Lost the 5 I gained post op plus another 6. Now I am curious if I continue to loose 1 or 1.5 lb per day what happens when I reach my goal and keep loosing. I weigh 154.6 this morning and goal was 140. Of course 120 would be sweet. No complications, added cocoa powder to my shake with 2 equal, awesome. Put chicken in the food processessor, chicken salad mush, really good. Looking forward to six week check on 10/19, I should be 100 lbs by then, probably will have to drink ensure to gain weight.
