  1. Mine was the 2nd an I'm still swelled mainly on the left side where port is. I wasn't getting in much either an worried about my protein but like the forum said before I read now isn't the time to concentrating on weight it's healing time an that's what I'm focusing on. Think mrs Caroline had posted that somewhere. As the days go by you will get more what you need

  10. I agree with all above replies an with a prison job you never no when one those inmates will get a crazy idea to just punch you in the stomach that would be awful !!

  12. I am but not alot I have maybe taken about 4 Doeses since surgery. I was afraid that what was causing this but I went to pcp today an he said it was more likely from my hernia repair because if the size it was an didn't think it was my band because I'm not puking just dry heaving. He took out 3cc anyways so i pray this will help. Thanks for everyone's concerns for me !!!
