Hello fellow bansters!!

So recently I've noticed that sometimes my port area is sore. The way I would describe the soreness is equivilant to drinking 2 big glasses of Water and taking a jog immediately afterwards. Cramping is what it feels like. I really felt it after one of my workouts. And its so tender in my port area that I have a hard time standing straight up. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what causes it? Thanks in advance for your answers.

My gets sore occassionally. Mostly when I'm laying down, it feels like pinching. Don't know if its similar, or even remotely close to what yours is, but I asked my surgeon and he said its the scar tissue in the fascia where the port it attached. He explained it was very normal.

My port is almost always sore, and worse when I pull it.

I never really felt sore unless I did strong ab workouts. But this past weekend we went on a road trip and sitting in the car for several hours made my port sight very sore. After I got out and stretched everything was felt much better. Wasnt a good feeling.....

      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.
