Some will cover the belly panel.. You have to have on record infections! So anytime you get raw under there call your Dr.

Mine is beside my arm pit. Can't notice it at all. I haven't read of anyone else having port placement like mine.

Try some G2 or Powerade.

Good luck to you.. Just keep your eyes on the prize!

Congratulations making changes! Excited for you!

Being a caregiver is so hard. I know because my brother has metatastic esophageal cancer and he is staying with me. Plus you lost her and for that I'm very sorry. You have been through a lot of stress and pain. Now its time to take care of yourself! Congratulations on your decision and welcome !

Praying for you as well.

Congratulations bullwookie!!! Feels awesome I'm sure! You go girl! Lisa I had major doubt's also. I thought, how in the world can a person live that way! I've learned that we consume way more calories in a day than we realize. I have more energy now than I've had it a very long time! High protein, low sugar, and good food choices really makes a difference.

Sounds like you are doing great! Keep it up!

I know exactly how you feel. So exciting!

I've had no problems with reflux since my surgery. I already have more energy than I've had in a very long time.

Have positive thoughts!!! I'm sure it will work out..I was in doubt until I got the phone call. Was thinking it was too good to be true! Got my approval back in 5 days!! Good luck to you and keep us posted!

I was surprised by the support here as well! Your welcome!

First of all..sorry your feeling this way..day 3 was the worst. I promise it will get better soon. Best of luck to you.

I hope you feel better!

Probably is scar tissue but I would call..Never hurts to double check.

Surgery June 26th. Down 21 lbs including from preop. 11 since my surgery.

That's awesome! Keep up the good work!

I also use powdered peanut butter. Mix it with chocolate protein powder and unsweetened chocolate almond milk. Delicious.

Gasx or phasyme...the gas pains can be bad. Heat pad if the gas causes pain in your left shoulder, extra pillows,ice pack for your incisions, water, sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello,and broth. I slept on my sofa. Also wore a band around my belly. Hope this helps and congratulation!!!!!!

I remember feeling the same way. Such an amazing feeling! Congratulations

Good work!!!

Happy your feeling better. Glad your Dr wasn't strict on food stages.

That's awesome! Hope it goes well!

Mikes I see you used bagnato, I used Burnetts! Have you ever been to the support group? Thinking about going.
