Almost 2 weeks since banding...

Well, I feel really good :) My port incision still hurts and the swelling is going down to an extent that I can feel the port when I press on it. Losing average 1 per day. Going back to work Tuesday so I plan on being alot more active. It is tough now because it is like 150 degrees here in S. Florida :thumbup:. I am going to try a bike soon to to see how that goes.

 

Getting a fill in 2 weeks already. I told the doc I dont feel any restriction. I am not hungry but could probably over do it without some discilpine...rut roo!

 

I dont go to the bathroom (number2) and this bothers me. I dont know if I can take a laxative. I think protein binds you up or something....all this foreign healty food in my body and it doenst know how to act.

 

In the mushy stage; egg salad, tuna salad, hummus (a first not bad) and of course those lovely protien shakes.

 

Best wishes to all in your banderama!

You can take a laxative. I suggest MiraLAX. And I would take it SOOOOON if I were you! Otherwise it's going to hurt REALLY bad when you do go. Get the MiraLAX powder and mix it with juice. Can't take the difference at all. :) It works really well! I did it 2 days post op and have been regular ever since.
