Ok I'm a restart been home 8 hrs how do I know what side is my port I have 5 incisions

I was able to find my port because it's closer to the top closest to my breast and I had to be Band-Aids covering the incision I'm not sure if yours are the same. I'm not sure about everyone else but I'm having gas pains but I did make sure that bought chewable Gas-X. so when I came home yesterday I had to take two chewable (30 minutes in between) all after that I've been walking around to help pass the gas or Burp.

Keda, Mrs Britt is right, My port is the biggest bandage. Also kinda under my right breast but a little towards the middle. Once its not painful you can probably push down a little and feel it. I think? LOL best of luck!!

      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.
