Got banded sept 6th and I get my first fill tomorrow any advice on if I should drink more Water today or any advice would be good. Thank you!

I had the surgery 10 days ago and I'm really excited about it. I have stopped taking pain killers and everything 2 days ago. What concerns me is that I have a big dark bruise to the left of where the port area is. Is this normal? It kinda scares me. Also I feel more pain when I bend down. Kinda in the area where the port is but an inch down. Is this normal as well? I'm just nervous and new.

Okey so it's normal to be a small bruise then get bigger? Thank u for all your replies it makes me feel better.

I am having surgery in 5 days eee but I have a terrible headache I can't shake today. does anyone have any tips? I know we aren't supposed to take aspirin. Any advice will help.

Oh wow really. Thank u so much!!

Just preop diet. I don't drink too much caffeine. I didn't think I was allowed any pain relievers cus they thin the blood? Am I wrong?

So I'm trying to get a list going I all the things I'm gonna need and be in the habit of buying before and after surgery. I had a few questions tho. What kind of shakes are good to get? Should I go to gnc or the grocery store? I kind of want something premade.... Any suggestions? Also what kind I vitamins should I take? I know a chewable calcium and chewable multivitamin. Flinstones? Any advice would help thank you! I get banded the 6th eeeee soo excited!

June 6th as well!

Thank u for your great suggestions!!
