Hey everyone! I though it would be cool if we started a thread that just has what state and town or city where everyone lives. That way everyone can see if there is anyone else on here that lives close by without having to search through a bunch of older threads

I live in Attleboro, Mass, 10 mins north of Providence RI and 45 mins south of Boston.

Hi Boxeremma,

Hi neighbor! Did you notice we were banded on the same day! How are you feeling?

WOW! Thats so cool, I did not notice that. I am feeling good. My port site is still really sore. I started back to work yesterday and that totally wore me out. Sitting in a chair with my port hurting is not the best thing in the world. How are you feeling? Do you feel like you have any restriction? My doctor said since my stomach would be swollen, I would feel like I was restricted, and that should go away in a week or two, and so far it has not. I am never hungry, and I am having a hard time getting in my protien and water. I think the most water I have drank in a day is 30 ounces. When I drink my protien shake, it takes me forever to drink it and when I finish it has filled me up for almost the entire day. My liquid diet consisted of protien drinks and water. But hey I am not complaining or nothing, I lost 14 lbs on the 1 week preop diet and have lost 4 in the week since surgery.
