So how are you?? I am in so much pain! I feel like I have been in a knife fight! Seriously, the main issue I am having is where the port is. It HURTS!!! Enough so that I called the doctors. I need help in and out of bed, etc. Just can't do it on my own. He told me that unfortunately it is very normal. They have to sew the port into the muscle tissue which is what accounts for the jabbing, rolling pain I am feeling now that the anesthesia has worn off. They sent me home with Tylenol with Codeine and now he told me to add liquid Motrin since it works specifically on the muscles and to alternate between the two every two hours. I am also taking Gas-X like it is going out of style!

How are you????

I have been really pretty diligent. I am allowed to have cottage sheese, yogurt and a cream based soup very limitedly. The rest is sugar free drinks and popsicles. When is your surgery date again and where do you live? My memory is lame lately! Lack of calories I guess!

Anyway, I am 42 and 200 LBS. Not sure how much I want to lose. I will get to 150 and reassess things. Would love to stay connected!

I haven't lost much either. Maybe three pounds. That is why I started looking at the slimfast. I was hungry all the time so I so I started reading back over my literature and found out I was not drinking the right thing. I wish you luck. There was no set weight loss for us to lose before the surgery. We just had to shrink the liver by the two week fast. Have you stuck with it?
