I was told to change my bandages after two days. I had disolving stitches. Had a tiny bit of discharge on original dressing but not after.

It is completely normal, just watch for excessive drainage, temperatures, redness, etc.

i had a smidge on my port incision which was the largest. doctor said it was fine and not to worry. i say if you are concerned, do what i did and call and let your dr know and have them ease your mind.

I did too. It wasn't huge but enough to come theology the surgical tape and onto the shirt I was wearing. Mine eased up after a couple if days. Just keep an eye out for infection otherwise I think it's totally normal...or at least my doc told me it was! :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
