For everyone that can feel it, is it bothersome?

I can feel mine at the incision and I'm convinced I can feel more "plastic" toward the center where abs might be someday haha. It's not bothersome, though some higher waisted pants were uncomfortable when healing (they rested on the port site) and sometimes after a fill it's a little sore to the touch. Otherwise, it's totally fine!

I can feel mine more and more. At first it was awfully tender in that area and I was constatly rubbing it (which of course, made the soreness worse). SO, I used to refer to it as my gunshot wound. But now, i only feel it if I touch it. No soreness at all.

My doctor pushed so hard to feel mine 2 weeks ago it hurt for 4 days after that.

Today he felt it and I could feel it, it is the side of my big incision. I feel it when I roll on that side in bed too!

It freaks me out sometimes, but I would love to have it "stick out" as I lose weight! :)

      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.
