I got banded on Friday Aug 14th. I feel good except that there is a burning sensation at the port site incision. It is worse when I am up...almost non-existant when I am sitting but even the skin around the incision burns and gets worse with touch. Anyone else experience this? Also, any suggestions for foods to eat on liquids? ...I am dying!:biggrin:

I have that feeling around the port incision(I was banded on the 17) I was scared it was infected but it looks ok. I'm living on italian ice, popsicles, Jello and broth, tea, and Water.< /p>

I was banded on 8/11 and only experienced a burning sensation when I bent over which applied pressure to the incisions. The port incision was very tender and would mildly hurt for the first 6 days but then all of a sudden it just felt OK with slight discomfort here and there.

Like you I've been a bit hungry and have existed on crystal light, sugar free popsicals, and clear chicken broth or vegetable broth. On the 7th day I stated simple low cal yogurts without fruit. Yoplait light worked for me and took away the hunger. Last night I enjoyed a bowl of Tomato Soup which was savory compare to all the sweet stuff.

Oh... and I've been doing a can of Slim-fast low carb (20gr protein) and low sugar (3gr) in a blender with a few cubes of ice.... very filling.

Good luck.

Ron

I had the same burning except for when lying down. It was warm to the touch and red. . . DH even mentioned maybe infection. . . but all the sudden it was fine! Skin is still dry and scratchy. . . I keep lotion on it!

i was thinking infection too but its not even pink! It is some better today. I guess I have it a little better because I was allowed to have cream soups/yogurts, pudding, cream of wheat two days after surgery...I am full with just about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of Soup but get hungry fairly quick after. Any ideas for Protein that don't taste too bad? the Isopure is awful...TIA

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
