The whitish stuff is just glue

Looks good, healing very well. I had bruising around my incisions and it took them a few days before they appeared and it took a couple weeks for them to disappear.

Yeah I would agree it looks like bruising to me too....I am sure everything is fine. be concerned it you sell and turn red and have fever in it.

Is it bruising? Bruising can be yellowish in color.

Still, my observation does not and should not take the place of your doctor or any medical professional.

looks like bruising to me - and since you have the glued incisions, sometimes the iodine they clean you with during surgery is stuck under it as well. As long as it's not red or draining pus, you're good. :)

Looks like normal healing to me! Abnormal would be red, warm/hot to the touch, discharge, pus or a foul odor.

Just from the picture you posted I think the incision looks good. Granted, I am not an expert but to me it definitely doesn't look like something that would warrant an immediate visit to the ER! If you are worried, it never hurts to pop into your surgeon or PCP office and have someone take a look. Recently I was sick - it made me feel so much better to go in and have my dr tell me I wasn't going to die (ok, I was nowhere near dying - I had strep throat). Sometimes we just need a little reassurance -

      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.
