Update: been taking Benadryl and using hydrocortisone cream. Rash is still there and has actually spread. Called the dr office this morning, of course they have to call me back. I look like I have a fungus on me. It's disgusting! I have surgery on last we'd and was planning on returning to work Thursday. But now I called my boss and told him it prob wouldn't be til sat due to having an allergic reaction. The ITCH sux!!!

I just have white bumps and the dr said that was part of my allergic reaction. That the glue is trying to seep out of my skin. Gross I know. I don't think it's the same as yours you probably should go ahead and call the dr office. Just ask the nurse thru should be able to answer that over the phone.

Got banded March 7th! I have a hint for those who were like me addicted to diet coke! There are two flavorful of Atkins shakes Mocha Latte and Caramel which both have coffee in them. It has been a lifesaver for me since I don't like "hot" coffee, and my dr said the Atkins shakes are great for protein shakes. I do still miss the taste of diet coke though:(

Had my surgery wed the 7th. The muscle soreness and tenderness has gotten better but it is still a little difficult to get up after laying down and I still can't pickup anything from the ground. I'm sure it's a few weeks.

Ok talked to dr today he said take benadryl and use hydrocortisone cream around the incision, and not to try to remove the dermabond. I too have just worn cotton tshirts and no coverings but everything skin is different I know.

How Many Calories On The Post Op Diet?
Loneil posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I an on the full liquid diet until next Friday. I am have (3) 4 o. Meals and 2 shakes in between per dr instructions. I downloaded the app that counts your calories, was just curios, and it looks like I only had 500-600 Cal today. Which is basically what I have been doing. Is this safe? And is this normal? Not hungry:) but just worried. -
Same thing with me. My mon is a nurse and suggested I take Benadryl tonight and call the dr in the morning. I have had a reaction to bandaid adhesive before so I'm pretty sure it is that. Tiger55: let me know what your dr says and I'll update you with what mine says tomorrow. Thanks for your input!

They look like little pimples or water bumps, any info?

Serving Size Post-Op
Loneil replied to MissManders's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think those recipes are for later on. I got banded on the 7th. The dr said 3-4 oz meals 3 times a day with protein shakes in between. I am on the full liquid/ purée diet for one week. The clear liquids I only did for 2 days. I have been measuring the 4oz and have had no problems with food. -
Omg!!!! My Belly Itches Wicked Bad Helppppp!
Loneil replied to Kim Whiteman-Enos's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got banded on the 7th and I'm having the same reaction. In thinking its just an allergic reaction, not an infection. But it is itching like hell! Ive been putting hydrocortisone around the wounds and keeping the wounds open to air it seems to help for a while. I hope this is normal -
Banded On The 28Th, So Much Pain
Loneil replied to FoxxieBrown's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got banded on the 7th and am having all the same issues. I know you mentioned a headache. I woke up last night with a bad one on the back of my head and neck. It still hurts this morning. Does anyone have this happen? Is it from stepping too much? -
What a relief! I'm doing the same just itchInf around them. I had my surgery on wed the 7th

I got banded on 3/7. Bad pain on the port site. Just trying to get up and out the bed hurts bad. I've been taking pain meds, but it makes me just pass out. Been constantly sleeping the last two days. Just wanted to see if everyone else has the same recovering issues. And when will the pain leave???

Why The Liquid Diets After Surgery??
Loneil replied to Stacey Flowers's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stacey, My dr said once you are on the mushy foods, try to add more in and see how you react. Just add things slowly that you can tolerate. -
Why The Liquid Diets After Surgery??
Loneil replied to Stacey Flowers's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dr has me on clear liquid for 2 days. Then full liquids for one week. Yogurt is included on this one. You should be fine, I think we will all have to learn to eat slower! Has anyone had nausea yet? They gave me that patch to wear for 3 days and I haven't had any, just wondering if that's fixing to change. Thanks for any help!
