Big Mama 514 replied to Erin18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Dr. said I could shower the next day after surgery but NOT to "submerge" (bath, or swimming) for at least 4 weeks after surgery.....I am missing the ocean & pool...the summer's almost over -
TOM: ? for Ladies (WTMI)

I was banded on July 22nd and have been bleeding ever since...it seems to be getting worse instead of better, & I'm on the pill this whole time so I really should not be bleeding....I wish it would just go away already, Ive had enough............ -
Hello All, My surgery was 13 days ago, I had my first follow up appt. today & so far I've lost 20 lbs:smile: (which includes 1 week of pre-op liquid diet) I dont see any change anywhere yet but it will take time...I just hope the loss continues & doesnt slow up........ Good luck to everyone........

I would definetley call the doctor if its oozing..yellow usually means some sort of infection, its not worth taking a chance, if it is something you can get medicine asap........

Hi,
Hello..I was banded July 22nd, so close to you...
Oh my...sounds just like me...ny port site in real sore, feels like pulling, especially when I move (get up from the couch, toilet, etc.)So how are you doing?, how much have you lost? are you on food or liquids?
Hopefully we can keep in contact & follow each other along this NEW journey of ours. We are sooo close, we can compare stories!!!!

8 days out & port pain is outrageous
Big Mama 514 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello All, I am 8 days out from surgery & my pain has been minimal & I have been bragging to everyone how blessed I have been with such a great recovery...even my scars look good....except today I woke up with EXTREME port pain, it feels like its pulling & tearing....is this normal, has anyone else experienced this looking forward to some responses....... -
Hey Kim! Nice to hear from you! Im doing pretty good. Ya know, i'm 3 weeks post op and still on full liquids. So far, all i eat pretty much is creamy soups, protein drink, s/f jello or pudding and yogurt and crystal lite - so basically the same stuff you are. I go see the doctor for a post op appt on friday. I wont get my first fill for about 2 1/2 or 3 more weeks. I do feel good...and i do worry about starting to eat normal foods again - right now there is no restriction and after 5 weeks of eating like this, i'm just afriad of going overboard or hurting my insides!
I've played with a 8 lbs loss since surgery - up 1/2 a lb down 3/4's etc. but i can see myself losing--i guess inches..people are just starting to notice and say things (25 lbs you'd think someone would notice!)
I th ink once i have a fill and KNOW i can't overeat, maybe i'll calm down some lol.
Glad to hear your doing well! I just wish we could lose as quickly as i seem to put the weight ON ! LOL
