I had my surgery on July 23, been following the post op diet and tracking everything that went into my mouth, but I have gained a pound since surgery. I am starting to get frustrated because I didn't get surgery to maintain my weight. I am walking and geting 100 grams of protein a day and sore as hell, but still no weight loss. When will the weight loss start??? I did lose 16 lbs prior to surgery during the pre-op liquid diet. Maybe I need to give up mushy and go back to just liquid??? Help.

They were delicious and it is kind of weird because I don't usually like eggs! It was the first time I had mushy or soft foods since before my liquid pre-op diet.

I had one scrambled egg and made one packet of grits and couldn't get all the grits down.

I did not have a hernia repaired. I just think that my larger incision is really irritated. I am wondering if that is were my port was located. I also had issues with bladder retention, I still have a foley cath in and I am going to see a urologist on Tuesday. I never saw that coming. I feel that it is hendering me from walking and some light exersize because the bands that they use to attach the leg cath bag are too small for my fat leg and I just have it taped. I dont want it to pull on the actual cath so I have to admit I have been pretty lazy the past couple days.

I have no idea where my port is, but I am assuming that because the largest incision is on the right side of my belly 4 in up from navel and 2 in to the right that it is there??? I am only 4 days post op and that is the most sore area I have.

I just got banded on Monday, July 23rd and I have not had that specific problem, more the gas in my throat. I went out today and bought chewable gasx since they didn't have the strips! I think that will do. I still feel very bruised as well, especially when I get out of a chair or bend over. I am hoping that this will pass soon. I have to fly to MN on next Thursday for a job interview. I certainly didn't plan on having everything so close together! I just have to figure out how to get my protein in and foods I can eat while traveling since i will still be on pureed and soft diet.
