    Ok so, sleeping....

    nope do not sleep on your side, be cautious. My doctor thinks that i either popped a stitch or pulled a muscle. i had this horible Burning pain for about 20 minutes, i thought i was going to die. so be very cautious. i have been sleeping on a lounge type chair. and when i move back to bed it will be on my back. i am 8 days out. so please do be careful.
  6. i feel so much better.thank you. i am being extra careful in bed at night. i had the stitches that just disolve on the inside. my wounds look good. i just had some plain yogart , fun... is there a new scooby movie out? my son loves scooby as well. this weekend the new "night of the museum movie",opens up in the US, have to take the kids to see it. this is our memorial weekend holiday, when we pay tribute to the fallen soliders. so everyone has a barbecue , had to pass on some invites to avoid the yummie burgers and other food.

    soon you can have a cheese sandwich, would that be like a grilled cheese( melted cheese). bangle bracelet nice!

    have a nice weekend.

  7. Good news I lost 16 pounds. i was so happy with that.

    today i ate my cheese soup. so yummie. another week of soft creamy stuff than to mushies. cant wait?

    how are you?

  8. he said to call him if anything else happens, but that if my port flipped it would be an easy fix. not that i want to go in for surgery again. i just hope it dosent happen again. my hubbie thinks i slept on the port. i have to try my hardest to sleep on my back.

  9. i went to the doc and he checked my port , pushed in my belly hard to feel it, but he said everything felt normal. no redness or oozing. he thinks it could of been that i pulled a muscle or i could of pulled a stitch out or my port flipped.

  10. hi trish, i have to tell you i thought i was going to die several nights ago, i had this horrible pain around my port, it was a burning sensation, i woke up in tears and screaming. it lasted about 20 minutes.

  11. Hi i read one of your post regarding the sharp burning pain? please tell me what happened. i am going thru the same thing. i just got banded May 14th and have been in terrible pain. not constant, last night it took my breath away for about 30 minutes. i was scared to move or breath. i was in tears with pain.

    Spouse supporting a bandster

    I have to agree with mostly everyone on here so far, your wife needs to get on here more often. So sorry to hear she was confronted with negative feedback. I think it’s great that you are trying to support her, but ultimately she is the one that needs to make changes if needed or get help. your support will only help her succeed.
  13. Queensland? i guess i should do some Aussie research.

    i just found out that Cate Blanchett is from your part of the world,guess i thought she was British.
