I'm 11 days post op, up until today I haven't had any major complications. I'm still on the liquid diet until Tues. Today I had a small caramel frappe from McD's. Shortly after, I started feeling uncomfortable, like I was sore where my port is. Then my lower stomach started hurting. Then I started having pain just above that area (prob where my lapband is). I had to lay down, but I'm still having a little pain. Anyone else had this? Maybe I had too much?

I am five days post op and having the same kind of pain. My husband made me a milkshake as a treat today and I felt the same way for a few hours. Now my port site feels like its stretched. I actually laughed hard today too so that might have something to do with it.

I had these same problems with milk products after surgery!

my port area was sore for about a month

its he scar tissue forming and if you move or stretch, it may cause discomfort...it gets better...not sure why a smoothie/shake would hurt as it would seem to pass through as its liquid.....sounds delish though

Yeah that makes more sense, it feels like it pinches me from the inside if I move a certain way, like I pulled something.
