Mama Mama 23 Posted August 10, 2012 DO NOT REMOVE THE TAPE (its holding your skin together) I'm 18 days post op & my tape is just now coming off. Congratulations on your band! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebestmom 1 Posted August 10, 2012 I'm sorry to say its just now 1month after my lapband sx and I'm just now getting back to normal! I did develop a hematoma under my port incision though. So that was scary an painful I'm literally just now getting around with no pain after one month but all ppl heal different. Good luck! 1 newskinnygal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted August 11, 2012 My doctor considered cottage cheese a mushie which was not until day 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rojasanoll 920 Posted August 11, 2012 Don't play doctor, keep the tapes on. After showering, dont rub, pat them dry. My surgeon told me to stay on Stage 1 (liquids & clear) for 14 days. The longer the better to give your stomach a chance to relax. I can drink my Protein shakes per my doctor. I freeze them for 40-45 and make the ice cold taste great. I'm on 5 days since band on Aug 6 and I feel great. No more pain anywhere and no more vicodin. Best wishes on your recovery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
