That's when I get mine I am going to Gym tomorrow so Hopefully that will help.

I have no will power it was so easy at first because I had some restruction. I guess it was fro swelling.

I almost 5 weeks post op and no restriction. I know I'm not losing. I am ok with it. But this is banster hell right? I just need a fill right?

Yep normal. I am more than three weeks post op and it still hurts a little.

I am in the camp of up your calories. A lot of people will cycle their calories and have two days a week where their calories are much higher and it tricks your body. Especially if you are exercising, it's a good idea. Try it, I am positive you won't gain exercising that much. Also, you can expect to not lose while working out for a while then all the sudden you will wake up and be 5 pounds lighter. Your body does not want to get rid of the fat.

Whole chicken breasts...well not eating the whole thing. Also stew meat, ground beef, any veggies. I can eat anything I just making good decisions.

Every insurance is different which I am sure you know. So you may not get the answer you want here...However, have you called to see what they cover? If they cover it with or without conditions and you meet the conditions, I don't think they can deny you. I wasn't denied at all. It was smooth and easy. I had a 6 month wait with supervised weight loss, but everything went in and I was approved within 2 weeks. I have blue cross.

Are you losing inches? If you are working out abs tracking calories you will lose. I tell myself everyday that I am healthy with no reason not to lose weight so when I'm not it will happen because I can't defy science for long

It's about 3.5 hours and I am hungry. I am eating solids. Nothing real hard though.

I am trying to decide to get a fill or not. I should have around 2cc in a 10 band rigtht now. I do have restriction. I can't eat more than 3/4 of a cup total. I feel like I could have a little more restriction because I do get hungry sooner than I should. That's a reason to get a full right? I feel like my pouch gets full quick, but empties quick too.

I feel like you channeled my spirit lol..... awesome!!!

Oh my gosh! That's so horrible!!!

Good to know I'm not alone. My other small incisions are basically nothing. It's just the large one where the port is. I feel it kind of like a burning when I move wrong or bend over.

I really appreciate all the stories. So many of us had the same childhood.

My port pain has gotten worse the last two days. Did I do something to it or just over do it? I feel great otherwise, but I have a sharp pain there like I pulled a stitch out or something inside. I am so scared something is going to happen to my port.
