I had surgery on 11-10-2011 and went to my post op last Monday, the doctor said I could do light cardio which I did Sat and Sun. I used my Wii and did 20 minutes each day. On Monday I had a sharp pain next to my incision area and it would only do it once in a while. This morning I got up and it feels like my port has moved down a little and now I have a little pressure in my chest area. I think this is from the port but the sharp pain is now gone. Also this morning I was very light headed and dizzy, but feel fine after I ate my Breakfast. Has anyone had this with their port? thank you.

Hmm. I think the pain might be your stomach not the port. If you havent used those muscles in a while they will be sore. I started working out and I had pain but that was from working on my muscles. I would just take it easy, walk dont run and see you it goes for the week It could be gas too. If you are concerned, talk with your DR. Hope this helps.

      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.
