How many laproscopic holes?

Ok, if everyone else has 5 and I have 4...where did the last one go?

I have six. I thought I had 5 until my belly button started itching on 3rd day post op. No one can really see anything when I ask them to look but I can feel it now so check that belly button throughly.

I have six. Four small ones and two larger ones.

Still a winner with 7 but you can't see them anymore except for the one at the bottom of my breast bone and it's tiny, like I was stabbed with a large gauge icepick. So NBD my friends!

I have five. Three are very small and can hardly be seen. One, right above my belly button, is visible but looks like a bad scratch. The main one, the one on my left side, will be with me forever. It is the main entry for the surgery and was the bane of my existence following my surgery. I had to back the wound twice a day and it took forever to heal.

I have 6 .. probably because my surgeon ( Dr. Laura Doyon, an Angel !) had to repair my hiatal hernia. No more acid reflux either... I’m obsessed with pineapple and navel oranges .. I don’t have fruit every day, a few times a week but I Jones for those darn oranges!

      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.
