<p>I have a little soreness especially where the port is. The port spot seems to still be bleeding. When I blow my nose, blood comes out. Is this normal? Also, today I am eating 2 cups of Soup 8 oz of skim milk with 3 tablespoons of genisoy and a 40g Isopure drink and green tea. Is that enough for the day. I dont feel any restriction, but I also dont feel hungry. I try to sip Water but I dont see 64 ounces happening right now.

I had to work up to the 64 oz of fluids. It was a few days, maybe even a week, before I could drink anywhere close to that amount. The amount you're having is probably okay, but I would still try to sip as much Water as possible.

I asked the same question in our monthly support group. Come on over - we're all right around the same time as you (actually - I was banded on the 15th, too!).

the blood coming from the nose is proboly due to the dryness when tube was put down your throat during surgery i wouldnt worry too much about it unless it continues try a cool mist vaporisor good luck up your nose a tube is also inserted thats actually what i meant lol!
