I had my surgery july 2nd and is put in a liquid diet for a month.....soo far so great! I lost 7 kilos and always drinking protien and hydrated! BUT I will be starting mushy food in 4 days and I am worried as I don't want to put on weight.... I am paranoid I feel if I eat I will put back the 7 kilos.... will I???? Am really nervous .... Also what mushy food is low fat and filling other than eggs, porridge, cottage cheese and yoghurt? What else can I eat? Any ideas guys? Thanks

Hey am 19 too and was banded at July 2nd! It's good to hear you are recovering well! The liquid diet will get easier I can assure you! Am excited about the first fill! But abit anxious! update me with how you are doing! X

Its not an infection! Thank god! Doctor said it's just still healing!!

Same mine is on the port side!!!!!! how long did it take to go away?

Had my surgery July 2nd everything went well until the past 3 days one of my sutures is releasing a tiny bit of yellowy discharge on the plaster and I am soo scared it might be an infection . It does not hurt or anything just the discharge does not smell pleasant. Isit normal? Is it part of the healing process? Please help!! Has it happened to anyone?

I don't understand why my doctor wants me to do a liquid diet for a month! :S

I gained weight too!!! Even before any fill!!!!!!

Had my surgery 1 week and a day ago ... Been on a liquid diet since and I lost 2 kilos at the start but weighed myself today and gained it all back. I am craving food but fighting it all! Am soo depressed! Why am I gaining weight? What shall I do? Has this happened to anyone else?

I hope so but it hurts soo bad and I cry soo much when it hurts... Yh the sleeping is bad... Can't wait get better the pains are horrible. How long will they last a week? Can't wait feel normal again and start losing weight

I Can't walk properly and feel terrible... Everytime I move it hurts.... my throat is killing too. How long will it take for things get better? Moving helps right? But it kills whenever I move!:'(

Good luck for tomorrow and let me know how you are doing! Same :'( soo worried about that but I hope we will be fine! I knoww!! I was going to cheat twice but didnt thank god lol We can do it! Good luck to All having surgery tomorrow !

I am 19 years old, am having my surgery at spire hospital in London and I am horrified ! Couldn't even sleep today! I keep having bad thoughts, for example what if my liver hasn't shrunk and they close me back!!! I wasn't on a liquid diet they put me on the low carb one.... Only have to eat 1000 calories for 7 days and I have followed it. BUT haven't lost a pound and I am petrified!! My BMI is 38.... Usually people lose weight on their pre op diets! I haven't! how will I know before surgery my liver shrunk? Will i be ok? Advise please!
