I only had 1 week after surgery of liquids I skipped mashed food my Dr told me it was ok I guess everyone is different I had bake potatoes, soups and pasta no meat and it worked for me I started exercising 2 1/2 weeks after surgery I'm a Cyclest so I needed to eat . Just listen to your Dr and your body and don't over do it I'm sure everything will be ok

I was self pay did not go to a seminar I had my surgery with in a month from my first visit with the Dr

I was banded on June 25th and have no restrictions I started my journey at 198 I've only lost 20 lbs and I hate that I can see and feel my port , the Dr told me that we might have to change it to a smaller one I hope so I hate that I can see it , I'm getting my first fill on August 14 I can't wait because I can eat anything I want I'm just glad I'm not gaining weight but I'm not loosing either so I'm in need of my first fill

I use vitamin E I brake the capsule and put it on my scar

I'm 2 weeks post op tomorrow and today I took my bike out for a 20 mile ride I took it easy average of 16mph and it felt good so I guess it's ok

6 days post op, days 1-4 clear liquids after that , 2 weeks of full liquids but I had a small bake potato with sour dream I ate it slowly wondering if anything would happen I don't know what I expected obviously nothing happened but I pretty much skipped full liquids I weighted myself this morning I did not loose or gained stayed the same 20 lbs off since preop I'm finding this very hard to do plus no one knows I had this surgery I can only vent in this forum

5 days post op is it normal sorry to be so blunt but is like water help

I was banded on 6/25/2012 I forgot to put the year

Thank you all for your input it helps to know I'm not the only one, and great for the ones that theirs are hidden my BMI is also low I'm seeing my Dr for my first PO visit on Monday, on a lighter note 20 lbs down

I'm wondering I'm 5 days post op I can see a bump where my port is if I put a shirt I can still see it is that normal will the swelling go down?or will I have a bump for ever I'm sure people would wonder what the hell is wrong with my stomach it looks like I have a cyst, please tell me is normal and it will go down

Surgery went well got to the hospital at 6:30 a.m and home by 1:30 p.m a little nausea first day but it was only gas hard to move around 2nd day much better hardly any gas pain and today my 3rd day post op and I feel pretty good II may venture out today I have lost 17lbs since preop but the growling in my stomach is crazy I've only had like 4oz of chicken broth Popsicles and water I don't know if I should be taking protein I bought the liquid protein 2 tps is 18grms of protein I hate the protein shakes so I rather take it like medicine. How soon did anyone started protein after surgery?
