My port has always bothered me a little. I feel it when I bend over and at different other times. I am getting used to it now. I hope it will not bother me to much this summer when I wear my two piece bathing suit. hehe. ( just kidding never have wore a two piece )

My port sticks out, and is painful to touch. Sticks out since my bump first started showing. It almost like it's been turned onto its edge (like a coin) i just don't touch it, my ObGyn is not happy it sticks out, but it's not like it's going to pop out of the skin, just unsightly and freakishly strange. I have 4 weeks left and now have to hold my hand over my port when I bend to put shoes on. Just waiting it out...

      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.
