First of all, Donali, I am speechless!! I just read your post and my jaw is still sitting on the floor. I couldn't imagine having that happen to me. I just had my IUD out and I feel like I lost a part of me. Couldn't imagine my band.

Delarla, I like your new name "portless". Kinda fits you to a T!

I am sad that you are portless, but I guess it is for the better.

I am truly Thankful that I have not had any problems. I go in tomorrow to get a fill. I have gained about 4 lbs in 3 weeks.

I am so sorry about everyone's problems on this board here lately. All of you are always in my thoughts!!

I too am very sorry for those who have been having problems with their bands.. ports etc... This is by far the greatest support group that Iam involved in and even though I have not met any of you in person I feel so close to all of you. Without this board and everyone's knowledge and support I would be one lost soul.

Donali - I just want you to know you have been on my mind all day ever since I read your post this morning. You out look and attitude is phenominal. I truly admire your strength!

Lisa- as always you have me rolling with laughter, . Thanks for posting Your port pics, they look pretty good considering everything you have been thorugh in the last week. You are an amazing woman.

Penni- I too hope you are doing well and recovering from your ordeal last week.

You are all in my thoughts

Michelle

      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.
