My port is making me really uncomfortable for the past two days. Idk why, but I feel it shifting back and forth. It's so uncomfortable and feels like its bulging. Kind of feels like a huge pressure bubble on my stomach. Is this normal ?

I had my first follow up appt for tomorrow and had to reschedule due to final exams in school. Unfortunately there were no closer dates available than next Friday the 24th.

You should probably call your doctor and ask the nurse- she/he might be able to help you or they can speak to the doctor. I know that my port is sensitive but I was banded two weeks ago.

I can feel my port as well it seem to move and make sleeping very uncomfortable for me, sometimes I have to shift from side to side to put it where it belongs:-( I totally understand how your feeling.

      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.
