Mine can be tender at times, mainly when I sleep on it at night.

Your English is fine by the way.. where are you from?

Yep, good English, don't worry!!!

Your walking is probably what is making your port area hurt a little. Keep up the walking and maybe use an ice pack on your port after your walk. Just for a few minutes. That tissue is tender, just be "nice" to it. Good luck, and Congrats!

After I was banded, whenever I would do new things that would move my stomach muscles in a way that it hadn't moved since surgery, my port area would be sore. Even at over a year out I still find one of those every now and then and it's sore for a couple of days.

Just watch it carefully, if it gets red, or feels warm to the touch, go to your doctor because then it is an infection.

:cake:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
