Recommended Posts

bumping. Did this get lost in the shuffle? Alex, come tell us how your doing!! Congratulation on the band rebirth!

Hey everybody!!!!

I'm alive and geting better every day!!:) I had some really bad gas/shoulder pains but I am doing better now. I started work yesterday and everybody is looking at me funny (I did not tell anyone what kind of "abdominal" surgery I was having). I have really long hair and which I wore in a pony tale and one of the Drs (I work in Hospital) actually mistacend me for another sonographer (who is stick thin, blond, and looks nothing like me). I lost 9lbs since my day of surgery:biggrin1: !! The only thing is that I am starting to get hunger pangs and going to the cafeteria (I usually bring a "cup-o-soup" with me) with other personel is becoming an exercise in will power:mmph: . I have a questiong to you all my wonderfull friends, where is your ports?? All my laporscopic "openings" are still healing and I can't tell where it is:nervous . Anyhooo I'm looking forward to a new life with the band and hopefull this will be the one thing that will finally work for me indefinetly. Thank You all for being here for me all of you are wonderfull and I hope I can have the opertunity to show my caring, support, and kindness to you all as you all have done for me.

THANK YOU!!!!!

PS: as most have you have noticed...I AM A TERRIBLE SPELLER...and I am sorry if I have horified some of you who are more eliquent with my missuse (and abuse:p ) of the English language (I immigrated here as a child from Moscow, Russia but it is not a good excuse I know). I am usually too imberased to post too much since in three letter words I make four mistakes:biggrin1: :confused:

You can tell where mine is very easily because my port scar is like 2 inches and the other ones are like 1/4 in. Mine is on my left side about 2 in. above my navel but like straight down under my left booby.

Hope your doing great,

      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.
