look at what you lost girlfriend what a success story...........aug 3 will be here before you know it. continue on with what you are doing as you are doing wonderful.

i was also concerned about (pain/pulling) around my port site. it's healing and forming scare tissue around the port itself. i am just over a month out and the pulling feeling has finally stopped.

60 to 80 grams per day for me (shakes and protein rich fods)

........gohs, if you are able to do this, more power to you and let me bow at your feet... but i would not have been able too. was groogy, tired, thirsty and in some pain (not alot but my belly def sore). if you do, go slow and be careful. ps, i love sea world too

include me in the hernia repair also. days 4-9 and with my shoulder hurting so bad, i asked hub to cut it off with chain saw. then on day 10, woke up and pain was gone. i took my meds and also moved it (in a shoulder shrugging fashion alot)..hang in there

no i dont think nothing bad will come of this. as the other post said, this pre diet is to help shrink that liver, but my dr said no to gum after surgery .. ask dr to be sure ..all the best

see, i think things happen in the fashion they are suppose to. you are doing fantastic. stay positive okay???

even though i do not have any (fills at this time) i try to make an effort to eat like i do. 1/2-3/4 cup of food and i always try to leave something on my little plate. this band is mental.

I would do that. again, pre-packaged meat has alot of sodium in it. would be something to eat as a quick on the go perhaps.

on my mushies (refried beans/salsa) was a god send and def a 100 steak in my eyes. good for you and filling.

digital, you couldnt have said it any plainer than this the us new banders. temptation is hard if your head is not in the game. not to mention eating (food) when you are suppose to be on mushies/soft is dangerous.

nor have i and i know butter is/was to be used very sparingly.

mine were glued shut also. i left nature takes its course. took nearly 3 wks for it all to come off all 5 incisions but they are now gone. dr said they looked great at my 2nd week f/u.

i hope to one day (once i am out of my mushies/soft foods) right now am concentrating on following my dr diet that he gave me. def a fan of mexican food though.

d------doing great. d------doing fabulous d-------so proud of YOU

mine is tender (where my port is) and i feel it when/if i brush up against it w/my arm or clothes. i am sure it is just healing..just think soon, we wont feel it at all.

hey krissy, i responded once. we all gave you good/sound advice. i think you will just have to decide to either do this for you or dont do it because of (his fear/concerns) whatever. like others said, take him to seminar or show him on the net what its like. again, this has to be your decision. you are the one who has to do it. he can or he wont support you. that is his decision to make. i only wish you comfort in your thoughts and that you get well with better health for you. as that is what matters. YOU.
