Where is your port?
lulalove replied to MattLAustin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can actually physically feel my port above the biggest incision that is 2 inches above my belly button. Plus the area gets a bit sensitive when I get gassy -

Just a brief update ... gasX strips helped a lot! My sister is a gem for helping and supporting. On Sunday was my mom's birthday outing and I did great with my miso soup! I did steal 2 teaspoons of ice cream but my awesome husband let me have just that! -
first congratulations! you look amazing and happy. I bet you feel healthier too. To help why don't you measure inches, sometimes the scales are slow to show. You are unique!

My stomach feels like a war zone with fluids boiling so loud a person next to me can hear. No pain... anyone else had this? -
Day 3 Pre-Op Fluids UPDATE!
lulalove replied to TheProfessor's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Awesome and keep going! I hosted a Thanksgiving party being on 800 cal diet. It was tough! I might have had too much protein/turkey :/ To get rid of food smell, try eucalyptus oil, it really overpowers all other smells and is calming. And every time I thought of food I always had a bottle or glass of Water and kept sipping on it. For headache try just tiny piece of darkest chocolate to open up your veins. Good luck!- 1 reply

Hi guys a huge thank you for the support! Professor, keep chugging that water and not the usual 64 oz but at least 80! I am actually 3 lbs more due water retention and gas. But physically even my very critical mom saw the differences! -

Thank you Marie. Great going yourself. Just got my baby from mom's to give my parents a break and while its weekend my husband helps. Lots of snuggles and he seems to understand mommy can't pick him up. Walking does feel better, except for crappy weather in NYC.
