don't sweat it bro. you're just excited about the inevitable. enjoy it, as you drop you'll stop doing it so much. my advice: take the scale and put it up in the closet after every time you hop on it. point is, you won't do any of those impulse weighs. ie. after using the restroom then hoping on 'just because it's there'. you won't want to go to the other end of the house to go in the closet to get it. i hop on once in the AM (after my morning routine :confused_smile: ). then that's about it. good luck - keep it going.

had my first fill today. doc found my port in 2 seconds.. a small prick from the needle to numb the area. after that i didn't even feel him go in with the needle to fill me. he put 1.5cc's in and i'm good to go. total time: 15 mins. NO PROBLEM.

just started back at the guy. nothing insane, just treadmil. after about 30 mins of walking at 3.7mph i felt like taking it to a job. so i bumped up the speed and started a jog. after a couple of minutes i felt some pain in the port area. not a huge pain, but def a weird feeling. i dropped back down to a walk and was cool. anyone have reasons as to why i felt this? has anyone felt the same thing?

yeah...i agree with the fries comment. i ate 1/4 of one last night and got owned by it. i ate 3 small bites of my black bean burger before i realized that the fry blocked me....i had to burp it up. i'm only 3 weeks out and sometimes it takes a while to learn what will work and what won't. i'm getting better at it.

doc told me no bread or rice. now i'm past the point of not being able to eat bread or rice. the question is: has anyone had a problem with eating a hamburger? i know i couldn't eat the whole thing, but would the bun be a problem??

walk around in chap shorts and wear heavy red lipstick. just kidding... men are like parking spaces....all the good ones are taken and the rest are handicapped. don't beat yourself up. all good things in time.

congrats bro. day 3 was the worst for me. my suggestion GAS X STRIPS and milk of magnesia. you're allowed 8 gas x strips in a 24hr period. i ate like 3 in the first 5 minutes. i farted and burped like a mad man for a day, but man did it feel good after. it gets better everyday. i'm 3 weeks post opp, feels like yesterday when i had it done. playing golf on sunday - Niiiiiice.

aetna sucks. i HAD them and in the 11th hour the dq'd me based on the LB being 'cosmetic'. bs! i then switched to blue shield ppo. and it was all good.

training should be fine, just don't push it. as far as rolling on the mats (jits), i say hold off for a few more weeks. you use a lot of abs down there. i'd say 'training' is ok for now, but no sparing. give that a few more weeks. i plan to get back to some jits and stand up in a few weeks myself. love that siht.

I was told to take B1 every day, B12 once/week, Iron once/day, Calcium 2x's/day and a multi 3x's/day. i'm not that good about it. the ole' freddy flintstones aren't going to cut it. hope that helps.
