I had my lap band surgery 5 days ago and am still taking pain meds and still feel pain around my surgery site (especially the port.) Is this normal? I was hoping to be better by now. Also, I'm starting to get hungry. I was hoping the hunger would come much later and pain would stop much sooner. Do you all think this is about right? I think I'm just anxious to start losing and exercising, but wondering what other banders are feeling.

Yes the pain is normal but everyday its sooo much better. I thought I had made a big mistake every time I tried getting up and down out the bed. But it truly gets better . Unfortunately the hunger does come quicker than expected. I need tips on that also.smile. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY.

How long did you have pain around the port site? I am 9 days out and still have pain. I think I over did it today. I had a little of my pain meds left so that helps some.

Thanks!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
