I had the same problem with not being able to find it but he used the dopplar and found it. They didn't numb you before they stuck you? I couldn't imagine being stuck with that needle without being numb because they usually have to stick me 2 or 3 times before they actually find it but the middle of the port.

Lol nvm had a moment there for a sec I see you said unflavored :-)

Which flavor was the best?

Thank you so much lol I haven't really been sure what are good powders and what are bad ones....I'm going to look that one up

What are some protein powders y'all like and how do you like to mix them up? I've been trying to look some up online but I think it would be easier to ask y'all.

Thank you catfish :-) and sandy I thought I was going to have withdrawals from bread lol but when it gets stuck it's kind of like you don't want anything to do with it anymore...don't get me wrong I think about it but its like when you get sick on a certain food and you don't want that food for awhile but with the band it's exciting because that's what really put the weight on me.

I agree hazel now when I go out I just ask for the meat instead of the whole thing lol... Some look at me weird but I don't see the sense in wasting bread...just might as well not use it. I use to love sandwiches but now it just seems easier to leave the bread alone (because its a hassle and hurts not because I want to) and just eat them meat. Bread was my biggest enemy though...I'm kind of glad it gets stuck.

Every time I eat bread it hurts so I've been kinda sad too lol. I haven't tried toasted maybe that's what I need to try

That is awesome!

I just had my third fill about 2 weeks ago and it changed my eating habits also. I believe that's what it suppose to do though it has cut my eating in half if not more since this last fill. I'm 4.3 ccs in a 10cc band and I don't believe I'm far from the green zone. It has cut out my bread completely because it gets stuck. I'm excited about it cutting out my bread lol!

I went in at 530 am and left at 11am the same day that was from being admitted to being discharged so I didn't have to stay there long at all but I would recommend t-shirt and sweat pants or some kind of stretchy pants/shorts.

Some people get fluid in their band during surgery but my first fill was 2ccs.

K thank you :-) do you know if maybe you could dilute them down into some water or something to make it not as strong?

After my first fill I was gaining and then I got my second one and I started slowly losing and.then when I came.back for my third fill I had lost 4 lbs in a month and.I know.it.doesn't seem like much but I keep reminding myself it took YEARS to put this weight on and it's going to take a little while to get it off. Good luck with your journey :-)

Is this kind of liquid protein okay to drink and how do they taste?

I agree with steph oldnavy compression shorts are awesome they also have Capri length. They really do help :-)

Do you mind me asking what your workout routine consist of?

Thank you :-) yeah I have been feeling tired...maybe that's the problem. I appreciate your advice :-)

I'm just wondering if eating 800 calories a day is okay?

My port is above my left Brest and I wouldn't have it any other way. I had my surgery in April of this year an it hasn't bothered me at all. He told me it's a better place to have it because there isn't a lot of activity goin on right there unlike your stomach where you bend and twist and turn. Also my two cousins have it the same spot above the Brest.

I went for my first fill about a week ago and I didnt have to drink any contrast....I wonder why? He put 2cc's in and that was it...I was in and out...

I found cute ones at walmart for about $20
