It's good to Hera I'm not a lone in that I can drink tons of water. I try slowing down with sips but I can drink la ot and fast. As for food... I'm still on full liquids until Tuesday then I go to purée. As for weight loss, I loss most durin preop but have loss appox 4lbs since the surgery.

I'm almost 2 weeks post op... Called my doc and they said as long as no puss, tenderness or odor than its fine. I have bleeding.. Very Lil but it's there.

There are some new ones from 2011, jut got to go to the later pages.

Could be your pain meds if it's an opiate cuz of the histamine. If its just your incisions healing then use vitamin e

So tomorrow will be one week post-op... All things considered I'm doing well. Still slight bleeding from port but no signs of infection and surgeon's office said not to worry. Pain is very minimal BUT biggest problem is I can't burp and I feell full all the time. I'm not getting in my required liquids and protein. AND yes I've walked, done arm windmills, received back rubs and used gas x.

Im calling the doc tomorrow but wanted to know if others experience light bleeding from the port incision? It's not a lot... I only have to change bandage like once a day. It didn't start unil the day after surgery. I wasn't sure if I messed something up by moving. Also it's not infected, no puss just light blood. I was told could have ome from the blood thinner shot.

My surgeon's office sales it. I have the unflavored where I have use fruit and sugar free puddings to change flavor. I've also used yogurt. I've heard the chocolate is good. I haven't had surgery but tried a few things to see what I like.

So I will be banded on Tuesday the 10th... The 2 week pre-op diet has not been bad. I have lossed a little over 10 lbs but not quite at 11. My goal before Tuesday is to lose at least 15lbs. If I don't make it, I will be OK with my progress. My doctor placed me on Optifast shakes, bars and soups AND other sugar free clear liquids. The only time I am hungry is when I smell food. Huge problem with my mom here cooking for my daughter. I AM SUPER EXCITED... Feels like time is crawling at a snails pace.

Hello, we have the same surgery date... Banded kindred spirits!!!!! I'm getting ready to join your group.

Hello, I have been following the site for about a week before I joined. I love it and it has been very helpful to me. A BIG thank you to everyone. I get banded on January 10, 2012. I am very excited because it's long overdue. I started this process in 2010 and should have gotten banded this time last year, however; I had to undergo an emergency hysterectomy. Therefore, the process had to be restarted per my insurance company. I look forward to learning from all and eventually providing insight and help to future newbies.

To shay33... All liquid diets are different, which one are you doing? I'm on optifast meal replacement for 12days. Because my BMI is 49 I can have 4 shakes, 2 bars and 1 soup per day in addition to clear broth, unsweetened tea and sugar free jello and pops. The 2 days right before surgery I have to stop the bars but can continue with everything else I listed.

Thank you both, I started the 2 week liquid diet on Tuesday. It has been brutal but I have loss 5lbs.

Hello!! We will support each other. When is your surgery date?
