My surgery was last Tuesday. I agree, most of my pain is gone except for where the port is placed. That is still a bit sore. I have lost 15 lbs. since last week, too, and a bit worried it is too much for such a short time. I have been drinking and drinking. Just tired of all liquids and not much selection. Hang in there.

Consider the source...I hope that she will gain all the weight you lose and then perhaps she will keep her mouth shut. Some women can be so vicious! Hang in there....keep focused on YOU and the good things happening in your life. Some people are so miserable they want others around them to be miserable, too!

Collygirl...I'm not a huge fan of protein supplements, either. But, I have found Chike! to be the best tasting protein powder. High in protein and low in calories. I mix it with skim milk in a blender with ice cubes. It is good, considering. You can find it at www.chike.com.

I was blessed to be banded by Dr. K on his birthday! I was his 700th patient. I honestly have to say it was an outstanding experience. I came from out of state and would do it all over again in a second. I am home now, learning how to rewire my eating habits and work with my new "tool". I plan on flying back to Colorado in April for fill number 1. So far, excellent care, great experience. Just ready to get over being sore where the incisions are in my tummy.
