hmm lets not fight ppl lol... Im 3 weeks post op and I am not on liquids anymore. Now I am allowed soft foods :biggrin: Yum I eat alot of fish tilapia. Well anyways I just wanted to say.. yes we all should follow our dr. I am one who tries to follow 100% I am very scared to pb or throw up or slim.. But we all mess up at some point so lets all calm down this forum is here for us to help each other and upbuild one another I think everyone knows that pizza is off limits but it happened and now she just needs support. So lets try to give some support and not so much criticizing :smile:

yes this is normal.. Im almost 3 weeks post op im not loosing a pound a day anymore and Ive lost 20 pounds also. I also still have port pain. I just had my apt with the dr a few days ago and he said this is normal my port is also still swollen he said it will be this way for a while since they sticthed it to the abdominal muscle.

OK so I went to see my dr today and I learned a few things. First thing was that my band was put on with 2cc in it. Next was that my cuts are doing good now :redface: Woo I have lost 20 pounds so far yea!!! Very happy about that so next apt 28th of Aug and maybe I can have a fill woooo:)

it all depends on the person.. One thing is that the bigger the person the more they loose usually also men tend to loose more than women.. My ticket is from my pre op diet until now. The dr said if I need a fill I can have one in 4 weeks. I just started mushies :cursing: Yeah I love tilapia yum :scared2:

So this morning I noticed puss on one of my cuts near the big port cut. My incisions are glued with nothing on them I came out of surgery like that. Anyways so I call the nurse then the dr. He called in antibotics and said take a shower wash it and take the glue off. Ok so I did this and the glue came off 2 of my incisions well now I have 2 wholes on my stomach... So of course I called back to the nurse she was worried so she said I had to talk to the dr. Fine I did that and he said as long as its not red or bluish and I am not running fever then I will be ok. Ugh So has anyone else had this? Now I am worried I will have bad scars also I am worried about the holes in my tummy :tt2: the nurse said I should go to see a dr here in town before thursday. I wish my dr was a more normal dr that cared more.. hes very odd. So back to my question has this happened to anyone else... 10 days post op open woundswith puss?

congrats on your progress :wink2: and by feb im sure this dress will be too big just wait and see you will do great. congrats on the wedding also.

OK I have to tell everyone... I bought Glucerna because I thought I should try something different.. The first one I drank I was very happy because it tasted so good a lil while later I was out and I started to feel faint then cold sweats then I felt like I will be sick and very weak.. Then it went right through me like the same liquid coming out the other end. OK so I thought maybe this was somthing else so I drank one this morning.. and the same thing happened now I am in bed sick. I hate glucerna!!!

um they didnt tell me anything... all I know is I woke up and could barely talk I did not get my voice back until now 2 weeks later Ive had surgery before and I didnt have any voice problems. Maybe they messed up or somthing i dont know.. But anyways dont worry about it you will be asleep and will not know anything

I was banded july 16th congrats on the surgery :eek: I guess I need to add one of those butterfly things.. where do i get the code?

WHat!!!38grams??? please tell me what flavor exactly I will go buy 100 of these naked juice things I am so tired of this other protein. Please let me know where to buy it also. Thanks

well I will say this.. not sure if its because I am young or what .. but I gained weight at 17 then lost almost all of it at 20 that was about 60 65 pounds I had no saggy skin.. I gained it back when I was about 23 until now I was banded 13 days ago and I hope not to have saggy skin.. we will see :eek:

thanks lynn :eek: Bombaman... They were closed with glue.. they are now open because I pulled the glue off because the dr told me to since there was an infection. If I had not pulled the glue off they would be still closed but at 10 days they should be closing on there own but since the infection I guess they cant.. UPDATE I am doiing good the cuts look good not too much puss anymore I think I will be fine thanks everyone :drool:

well thanks yall I might try it out.. I am really scared about my hair its long and drk almost black I already have a problem with it falling out before surgery so I really hope I can keep my hair I have never had short hair in my whole life so I dont want to start now.
