Found this thread and thought I would chime in even though this convo took place a long time ago. I also have a huge knot under my port scar, it is about the size of a large golf ball. It came about a week after surgery and is still here 9 months later. It hasn't been a issue for me except worry some until lately. The issue is that before my port was about 1 1/2 inches below the knot, now it is RIGHT UNDER the knot. They think it's just scar tissue, but now they are having to go THROUGH it to give me fills. They say it is really difficult to push the needle through the thickness of it, and now it's like they are agitating it and it is starting to hurt. I have talked to the doctors office about it and they dont seem to be concerned, just said since I was 20lbs from goal that when i get there i would probably want to have it removed and put a low profile port in. Does scar tissue hurt? I wonder if it can cause problems for my port. I am very concerned but think i may just be over reacting? Any words of wisdom?

      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.
