Nine days post surgery and port poking me



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I'm wondering how long will I have a poking feeling every time I move in certain ways specially when I lay down at night???? Is this going go away any time soon? I don't want to second guess myself, but I cannot imagine living like this forever. I guess I just want someone to say this is normal right now, and it's going to get better.

All and all to stop feeling weird sensations (for lack of a better word, not painful), it took me a full 2 months. I'm 8 months out now and I only noticed it the other day when I was doing (well trying to do :)) jumping jacks, I did not like the feeling, so I stopped.

It took me months also. I was feeling the same way, thinking I had to live with it the rest of my life. Don't even know its there now, unless I feel for it.

I enjoy grossing my kids out by having them feel it,lol

The little things in life that tickle me.

Hi,

My surgery was 12/28/12 and my port is poking out. It is very annoying. The doctor tried to push it down on my last fill. It's poking out again and I'll see him Thursday. I'm wondering if my port can be revised because it really protrudes a lot. It doesn't hurt, it's just annoying.

      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.
