waterbottle

Hello it is now 8 days since my op and I am starting to fell better. I find the painful area were the port is and when I went in for the op thought the port was going to be fitted near the bottom of my tummy? But it is not is very close to rib and thats very sore still..... still early days yet?

I have to go back to birmingham to have the dressing looked at and pre op review then I am hoping they can tell me why I am having trouble drinking the shakes they have asked to me stay on for 8 weeks. I find them to sweet and can only drink about 100mls at a time.

My confusion is this... when I went for the consultation I was told that the better the weight loss in the first 8 weeks before the first band adjustment, was the best as it will be the start????? .......................

Now I have been told that some people gain weight while the body adjusts after the first fill? Can anyone help me please as I know I have lost weight now but I am not really having enough to keep a sparrow alive. I can manage about a 300 ml can of heinz tom soup a day at the moment then I am totally full.

I like many others on here will have battled with their weight for years and this is a huge committment to us all to have this procedure done and I only want to know from people who have had this done.... as other people really do not understand do they?

I look forward to hearing from you all with your advice

have a great day Dianne
