The cravings post op is REAL!! After how many days/weeks post-op will the cravings reduce? I am worried that I may gain all the weight that I had lost before the surgery. I know the body requires enough protein to heal. I have read that there is a requirement for 100-120 grams of protein each day, but I am certain that I am getting more than that. I am only eating clean protein (chicken and eggs) and fruits (bananas). A lot of bananas!

I am 3 weeks and 2 days after my operation. I have been wearing compression garments since the second day post op, and my results have been good. Slight swelling is still present in the lower abdomen and groin area. I was instructed by my doctor to wear the compression garment for 6 weeks. The only thing I'm worried about is whether there will be more swelling after 6 weeks when I stop wearing the compression.
