10 days after beening banded

Well I'm starting to feel a lot better pain is slowly easing from my port wounds. Still on the liquid stage my opt fast and broth. so looking forward to starting mushy food. I've lost 7kg since my operation and have found i have a lot of wind (burping) is that normal. MY back has become a lot sorer since the operation not sure if that's suppose to happen maybe its the way i've been sleeping since that has had to change after my op as well. Have my follow up with the doc next week hope everything goes fine maybe i might get a fill as well Just going to take it day by day.

Hey! Congrats - I never had to do optifast after and even if I did I would of told my doc to shuv it, hated the stuff lol. As for the burping yes that's normal, you usually have gas after surgery because they put it in your stomach to make it easier for surgery - If you have any pain just walk around and it usually subsides, also people get shoulder tip pain and walking helps withthat as well. Port pain - use a heat pillow. I had a variety of things when I was on liquids, sustagen, milk, water, apple juice and that was basically it.

Uhh what else? My back was sore as well for about a week mainly because I couldn't move alot when I went to bed, once I started trying to lie on my side it was way easier. Congrats that you've lost 7kgs, no clue how much I've lost cuz I just started the soft foods and can eat heaps =( Definitely need a fill, thankgod I get one next week =) Oh and chances are they won't give you a fill this early, your still healing from surgery and 20 days out they won't do one (sorry to sound like abitch) but the usual waiting time for a fill is past 4 weeks as your still swollen from surgery. Good luck with everything else.
