Have a weird question...... In the morning the area Around my port feels fine. But throughout the day as I drink more water I start to feel bloated. So by around dinner time I'm so uncomfortable that I don't really eat anything for dinner. I have 6-8 big glasses of water a day. When I get in bed there is so much pressure behind the port that it gets pushed out and really uncomfortable. Should I cut back on water!? Any one else have this too!?

Still trying to figure this whole thing out. Had some set backs but I am looking forward to moving in the right direction!!

How close to hartford?? I live in Windsor.

I'd love to have a mentor!!!

I find burping and deep breathing helps me. As long as i'm feeling pressure. I've only had food stuck...and I mean really stuck. For that I had to spit up the food. I didn't really throw up. Just had to wait for it to come up on its own.

i was banded on oct. 13. i did the liquid diet for 9 days. then i started on the mushy food diet. some how i found myself eating something normal. at first i was terrified that i was going to throw up or it would get stuck. but nothing happened. so i started eating more regular food. so far nothing has affected me negatively. i have my post op appt. today. i'm not sure if i should tell the dr. that i'm eating normal foods or not. i'm eating healty for the most part. salads and chicken and lean hamburg. just not sure what to tell the dr. anyone else skip the mushy foods diet?????:cursing:
