Congrats and welcome to the rest of your life! -
I would imagine gas from the surgery. Walk more.

Warning to all... try not to re-size your rings until you reach goal weight. You can buy ring guards for a lot less than sizing. But do use ring guards... no lost rings wanted!

My port incision was about 1-1.5 inches. All of the others were less than 1/2 inch. They fade quickly.

Fast food and alcholic drinks??
CHEZNOEL replied to misscarrie36's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would avoid fast food for quite a while after surgery. I still can eat very little of it. As for Alcohol, empty calories. Not recommended during post-op phase, when you do use, count the calories. Fast food for me is a ready mixed protein shake! -
Try spreading out your protein shakes into four servings and use 1/2 at a time. This may help you feel like you are getting more frequent meals.

Having difficulty telling if I'm hungry
CHEZNOEL replied to Frederic's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It can take time, and early on in the process, the gurgling noises are bowel sounds. Make sure you are drinking enough liquids and going regularly. If not, add fiber, stool softner or Miralax to your regimen. Being stopped up can cause pains. -
Help! As soon as i eat a few ounces, I'm bloated!

Remember that weigh loss with the lapband is a journey. You have to learn to live a new lifestyle. -

Call you doc and ask for something that will help. Suffering is no good! -
Please fill in your profile so we know whether you are pre-op or post-op. What exactly is the struggle. Are you drinking enough liquids? Nee info to advise you.

Emotional preparation pre-surgery
CHEZNOEL replied to cat whisperer's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you must grieve... grieve for the shame you felt, and be happy about getting your life back on track. I can eat anything today that I could before surgery. I just control my portions, and don't use food as a crutch. You can do it if you truly WANT it! Emotional is normal at this stage and for a month or two after surgery. Hang in there though and you will not regret it! Post here if you need help or support! -
Sounds like water retention unless you are on a steady diet of milkshakes and ice cream. Make sure you are getting in 64 oz of fluids other than protein to keep from getting dehydrated.

1st week post op having hard time getting protein in
CHEZNOEL replied to PraisingHim's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try drinking 3 oz of protein shake at the top of every hour while you are awake. That should equal enough protein assuming you are awake for at least 12 hours a day. Smaller amounts more often worked for me. The rest of each hour I sipped water, crystal lite, etc. Good luck. -

Probably just swollen from the stuck episode. Try liquids for 24 hours and then go back to soft food.
