Well I woke up with the pain this morning, but it was a dull ache. And now it's totally gone which is a big anxiety relief. Just wish my leg would stop hurting like crazy. I got a bruise where it hurts, but I've been in pain like that before without a bruise. Hopefully I can make it until the pain stops. And sooooooo very thankful that the pain near the port is gone.

Last night I started having a tearing feeling in my abdomen and had hard time sleeping last night because of that and my leg pain. I was hoping it would go away today, but it didn't. The tearing pain was small at first, but now it's getting very irritating. I finally got a hold of someone at the surgeon's office and I can't be seen til October 22nd. It bites, but now i gotta wait 8 days in pain just to see someone. Seriously thinking about making a trip to my PCP before then. I don't know if I can wait 8 days in pain and anxiety. Thinking of going in to see PCP for the leg pain also and bring up my abdomen pain. I don't want pain meds, just answers and possibly a solution. Any ideas what might be causing the tearing pain? Btw it's near the port area which concerns me also.

Well weighed myself today. Lost 7 pounds since Friday Afternoon. It's a great thing, yet sad cause I am sick

Haven't been able to post updates :/ Had to goto the er Sunday morning cause I was having trouble breathing and lovely wheezing. Have bronchitis :/ It's midnight and i'm still up coughing. I have barely eaten since my fill :/ It's not too tight I just don't have much of an appetite. Hopefully it'll get better once I knock this out of my system. I think I was having the saliva issue cause of my sore throat. I remember doing that alot and how much it hurt going down. Been spitting it out as much as I can, but it's random. Happened this morning, but i didn't eat anything until 1 30 pm. So not sure what that was about. Hopefully the antibiotics will have kicked in when I get up in about 6 hours :/

The doctor made me eat the crackers to see if I could tolerate it. Normally not a big cracker eater I was told to take it easy to chew like mad and make sure not to eat too much. Didn't say anything about Protein shake. I ate 3 pieces of 99% fat free slices of turkey and had no problem. Still feeling full from it which is great.

Nm found out about sliming and pb. On the slime note I have been having serious saliva issues after I got home. It was so gross I was swallowing and spitting it out whenever i was near a trash can. Still having issues. Gross!

I was in there today for my first fill and asked him how much this time. I was shocked to hear 5 cc's. I asked if that was normal and he said that they are doing bigger fills because of the realize band. After I had it done I felt a bit funny drinking Water and eating crackers, and now i'm still feeling a bit blah. Nothing has come up, but i'm also dealing with a sore throat and umm stomach issues so not sure if that's making it all worse. Just wondering if anyone else had their first fill so high?

well i'm a fan of homemade quesadillas and i was thinking about trying a new thing when i'm on phase 4 diet. grill one chicken breast. shred it then put some taco seasonings and Water in a pan -use the packets directions- cook for 5 minutes. then drain some of the sauce off the chicken then plate it. If you like black olives sprinkle a few on top of the chicken. Sprinkle some low fat colby/jack blend or your favorite cheese on top of the chicken. If you like low fat sour cream then put a dab on your plate and just stick the prongs of your fork into it and take a bite instead of smothering it. Voila no tortilla chicken quesadillas.

My surgery is the 19th so 2 days away and i'm getting cold feet :/ Kind of scared about being so hungry and only drinking liquids. Not a great thought.

When I talked to the doctor he mentioned that she didn't "feel comfortable" in doing the medical clearance. I mean heck you ask questions send me for blood work and i'm out. Who knows. Gotta go back in 10 weeks as long as my blood work is normal this time if not he'd better get me in asap. I'm tired of waiting. The surgeon's office said that i've been waiting over a year for them to get credited at hospital and all these tests. The only good thing that's come out of all this is that I finally know I have sleep apnea. I don't like having it, but ignorance isn't healthy.

Well found out Thursday no diabetes or thyroid issues. But my potassium is too high. Gotta get rechecked this thursday to make sure it wasn't a lab error. Hoping it was. I don't need anymore things holding me back :/ So hopefully i'll get my medical clearance sometime soon.

I live in TN and I had to pay 150 non refundable and it's for a web site that you have to goto and fill out your history and it's for life i believe. Plus I had to pay for nutritionist apt which was only 39$. Not to shabby.

I was told and read that the supervised diet was not required. Hoping that's so :/ I haven't done it yet and don't plan on it. Also medicare told me that if the doctor approves it they will approve it. Only co morbidity is sleep apnea though bmi over 40
