Questions for the veterans

How long did the extreme soreness in your mid-section last after surgery? Thats the part thats killing me along with I think my gas is trapped in that area too. It never reached my shoulders.

Also, my pantlett says that after 2-3 days after surgery to try pudding, yogurt and applesauce. Am I the only one getting into this quickly.

The physio today said that the gas gets trapped in your diaphragm area and that the shoulder pain is usually a referred pain from the gas being trapped in the diapraghm.

Having not had the surgery, I don't know how long it will last but I think there will be differences depending on peoples ability to get up and walk and the amount of time it takes for your body to reabsorb that gas and get rid of it and how much was left behind post surgery!!!

EVERY surgeon prescribes a different diet regimen for before and after surgery. Follow your doctor's instructions ONLY! It is really important that you adhere to what your surgeon requires rather than comparing your diet with others.

Hi I was banded 22 days ago. No problems at all. I now really don't feel anything at all. The only time I feel my port is when I ride in a car.. I also feel it when I walk real fast. But nothing to complain about.. I named my port. Abby. Made it a little more me....:P

Wow I was banded 3 weeks ago and just starting to eat pureed fruit, applesauce, and yogurt and cottage cheese and ricotta. I am not one bit hungry which is very strange for me.

My port is a tad sore, not much I also only feel it in the car going over rough roads and those annoying speed bumps.

Just do what your doctor wants. Mine wanted 5 weeks before eating real foods.

good luck take care

Yes, every MD is different. I am also on the wait 3 weeks before adding in new foods. I am up to cottage cheese, cream Soup, and that sort of consistency.

My pain in my shoulder is just now starting to fad and I am 3 weeks out. If I eat too much or too fast I notice it quicker. I guess it is a good signal to stop.

      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.
