Hey Jan how are you feeling?

Sorry to hear you are not sleeping, what a horrible place for a port. Mine is right above my belly button, I am no longer sore I am 10 days post-op and I feel great so far . Started soft foods, last Wednesday. But feel like I am eating all the time. I am ready for the feel I think :-/

I went to the dr yesterday for a follow up appt. I did . talk to him about my Burger, needless to say he was very upset with me and ask how I was feeling and I told him ok. He lectures me on the importance of healing. But i understand the healing process, he did say I can start soft foods Friday so yes!! About this. But thank you everyone for your correction and encouragement. Oh I lost 15 lbs so far total realllllllly excited airy that. That's motivation :-)

I will!!!I really am mad at myself for this, because I wanted this way to bad to be that stupid. I am back on track as of yesterday, being very strict with myself, with my liquids only. I really do care.

I do not know where my port is, but my belly button is really sore and ha a big bump, also had hernia repair in that area, hope its normal

Had my band on Thursday the 29th of August, but I have already ate 1 hamburger slowly on the 2 nd day, and had shrimp the 3 rd day. Omg what's happening to me. I'm still on my liquids but just wanted them. I am not suffering at all. What's wrong with me? The only soreness I have is around my belly button.

Thanks that's a relief

Is it normal to not have a bowel movement for a couple of days

I had my banding done on Thursday morning of the 29th, two weeks of protein again :-) I did cheat a little and had a cheeseburger. I feel so guilty, want happen again

I use the body fortress powder from Walmart- chocolate/ peanutbutter it is amazing. And I have the strawberry kind also great!!! Flavor. Pat

Had my banding Thursday, pain pulls are great nausea patch in place. Feeling pretty good. I did sneak a bit of cheeseburger, of which I feel sooo guilty of.

I am looking for lapband buddies in my area for support and encouragement, and maybe lots of prayer. Pat

I read that I need to bring my C-Pap machine for after surgery, does it help?

I'm getting banded on the 29th- super excited

Thank you for those words of encouragement, I needed to hear that. :-)

I am in my 6th day of liquid diet, not as bad as I thought. Surgery schedule for 29th of August. I'm kinda nervous because I am thinking about all my favorite foods that I can't have anymore:-(
