I love port! Back off Iggy :P

LOL Laura I didn't say not to drink it, just not to lump all wine in with it :P

BTW I do too LOL But I must admit that whenever I've had a lovely enough evening to warrant the port coming out I always say yes and I ALWAYS regret it LOL And don't even mention a cigar when I have a port....they go hand in hand or head in toilet for me LOL

Since the surgery I haven't had a port though. I really don't do well with high sugar content and think it might cause major puke factor. Have you tried it since surgery?

My moms best friend didn't lose much... So I probably won't. And, a friend of a friend had gained it all back - so I will too- cause fat people have no self control. It's who u know huh?

Nobody in Dr. Davidson's office told me any of this stuff. It might have made me have 2nd thoughts if they had!!!

Here's one - that you will feel great in no time, like a day or two, after having major surgery where they remove 85% of your stomach. Your energy level will through the roof!! Geeze....hate to admit it, but I was really hoping that one was true! Um, not so much.

This a not a legend... But it doesn't happen to everyone. I was completely normal when I woke from surgery and had a ton of energy. From that day on I have been on the go.. Even very active in MX and San Diego.. Nonstop. I went down there with the mindset that I didn't want to waste a mini vacation opportunity and did exactly that. Hopefully this happens to a lot of people.

Wow, lucky you. :) Felt like crap for at least a week. It took me 3 weeks to almost feel normal and the 5 months to have a lot of energy. I think the high energy comes with regular exercise. Myth!!

      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.
