Aww, Im sorry. you will have days like that. It has been a yr for me and I still get sore around my port site. You will figure out what does it and avoid it, sometimes I cant even sleep on that side. But dont worry it is nothing that you wont be able to deal with.

Maybe he is getting a tiny bit insecure. He might need to have his ego stroked a little. Is he one of those who subconsciously tries to feed you, like maybe bringing home ice cream or chocolate. My husband started doing things like that and I brought it to his attention and asked him not to do that, he acted like he didn't even know he was doing it. Try including him when you by clothes and stuff, And ask his opinion about stuff, and make him think this is for him as much as it is for you. He will eventually come around. Good Luck.

I have a new hero. Thanks for the inspiration.

I remember my port being sore for a couple of months,and still 7 months later when I exercise sometimes I can tell when I have overdone it. When you get your fill, talk to your DR about your concerns about the placement. The way it was explained to me is that a piece of mesh is sewed to your muscle and the port is attached to that. That is way it is so tender sometimes. But I am sure if you ask your dr he will be happy to explain the mechanics of it so you can have some understanding of the way you feel. Good Luck!!!!!

I carried an ice pack to work with me. That was my greatest pain relief. It was at least 2 weeks before I felt comfortable without my ice pack. And even after you think you feel better, be careful because it doesnt take much to make you sore all over again. Just hang in there, every day gets better. Your body has been thrown for loop and it needs time to recover. Just take it easy,and take care of yourself, now is not the time to be super woman. Good luck.

Yep I can vouch for that. One cup will do the trick. Now keep in mind that most of that cup needs to be protein.

this is going to sound crazy, but it works. Soak your feet in hot water. lol

Well I am not sure about the rest of it, but I do know you should try to avoid throwing up if at all possible. Did your dr give you any nausea meds for after your sugery? If you dont have any I would call my dr and ask to call you in some if it continues. As for the other, if this is really abnormal I would call my obgyn. It might not be your period, where you by an chance a litlle late??

Yesterday i did 1.5 miles on the tradmill, and today I did 2 miles. I cant believe I did it. I can remember when I could only do 10 minutes at a time. Now I am up to 45 minutes. wooo hoooo!!!! The walk I am doing is for Scottish Rite Childrens hospital. I can do this!!!!

Some Dr 's will numb you, but even if he dont it will be over lickity split. So it really isnt any worse than a shot in the bum. Just be sure you can swallow the water before you leave.

My dr. gave me small fills. One month I even had to skip because he didnt have an appointment for me. I understand your fustration, because people who know are usually negative and when they dont see weight loss, there like. Told ya so. On my 6 month check up he gave me a big fill, and then I had to cancell my next appointment because I didnt need it. Hang in there you will get there. And then you will start dropping weight at a good pace if you do what your supposed to.

I have signed up for a 5k. I have 6 weeks to get ready. 6 months ago I would have never even considered it. Yey Me!!!!!

Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate all everyone does on here.

My last fill was about a month ago. It was the first time I actually felt like I got a fill. It was also the first time I had a major stuck episode. It scared me and I am afraid of having another one. It took me about 2 weeks before I could eat anything other than mushies. I can eat now except sometimes in the morning I cant even get down scrambled eggs. I have a 10cc band and I think I have about 4.75 cc in there now. I have an appointment on Wednesday for another fill, and I cant make up my mind if I need it or not. I explained my situation to the lady that call to comfirm my appointment and all she said is that it is up to me. I get hungry, but when I eat it lasts for about 4 hrs on most days, and a cup usually will fill me up. Does it sound like I should wait to get a fill?? What if I get a small fill and it is too much, will I no right away?? Some imput on what I should do.

can you exercise in spanx???

I have had some hair loss, but my hair is thick and coarse to start with. they make some really natural looking hair pieces now. I feel so bad for anyone who is so thin you can see the scalp. Weight causes enough self esteem issues without having to deal with thinning hair. If it where me I would treat myself to a nice hair piece. You can get them to look like your natural hair. If you can get one close enough no one would probably notice.

The best thing I found for my port pain was an ice bag. I even took one with me to work. Walk around the house a little and see if you can poot, and put ice on your port that was the only thing that worked for me.

Yes I tried them and no matter what you put them in or what flavor you get they are horrible. Mine came up as fast as it went down. YUCK

I started having some hair loss, luckily I have very course thick hair. I started taking Biotin and eating more protein and that seemed to help, now I have a bunch of short stubby hairs sticking up mostly in the front. I was banded on Aug 9. 58 lbs is alot, congratulations. I too am going to have to get my long hair cut,because of the new growth. I would start taking biotin and be sure to eat your protein and a good multivitamin and see if you notice a difference.. Good luck to you!!!!

lucky me, my dr numbs it first, which is a good thing because last time after he put some in, he had to take some right back out.

What is fitbit. thanks

This is just my own personal opinion, I don't think it hurts to splurge every now and then, as long as you don't do it often.
