Are there any exercises to avoid? I don't want any complications. No flipped ports or anything.

I switched to mushy food. 2oz protein and 1.5 oz carb. Small meals every 2-3 hours. I am not content after those meals. I need more to eat. If I eat 3oz of protein then I'm content. Can I do that?

I switched to mushy food and sometimes I don't feel satisfied and sometimes I do. Idk if its maybe Head hunger? Could it just be in my head? What are some good mushy meals?

Is egg drop soup a full liquid?

Hungry after surgery
petemac85 replied to Emt Matt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on the April 25th,Thursday. Web Saturday night came, I was starving. On Sunday I went to full liquids and everything got much better. Tell her to try some cream of potato soup. Eat very slow though. -
How soon can I go from full liquid to mushy food?
-
I know it's supposed to go away.. But how long? This is day 5 post op.

Pain in left shoulder??
petemac85 replied to petemac85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's nothing too bad. The shoulder only hurts when I take deep breathes. The hands only get tingly sometimes. The first two days my three fingers on each hand were numb but it got better. Now just some sporadic, faint tingling. -

What about tingling in fingers? Very faint. -
Dr said I can have it up to 2 times a day, otherwise I have to stick to protein shakes and Greek yogurt.

Im Full liquid and Cream of Potato was delicious yesterday and totally saved me. First time feeling satisfied and it was great. Had 7oz.
-
I was on clear liquid for 2 days and then went to full liquid. Cream of potato soup was a savior. Everything will be better when you get to that. Stay tough!

I'm 4 days out of surgery. I'm already thinking about extra skin. The doctor told me I won't have it too bad because I'm young. Anyone get lucky with their skin. I'm 28.
-
First day full liquids and I'm hungry.
-
I'm too sore to do that yet.
-
I'm not doing anything yet besides walking. I was thinking into the future.
-
So great. I'm excited!!

Today is my first full day on full liquids. My surgery was on the 25th. I just had my first protein shake. Was only able to drink about 4-5oz. My left shoulder still hurts. Any advice for this time? When should I go #2?
