Well, they finally called yesterday with my surgery date. So on the 25th at noon they'll go in and fix my port or tubing. Please send healing thoughts my way. Thanks. :lol:

Ezma you are definitely in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry you are having to go through this additional surgery but hopefully everything will go smoothly and you will be back on track again soon. At least it's good to know there is a reason why you were having difficulty and it can be fixed! Gotta look for the bright side!

Good luck and let us know how it goes as it is still possible for any of us to have to go through the same procedure.

Yeah, I had started one called "Oh what a beautiful morning" when I thought I was going in for my fill. But surprise, surprise....when he tried to fill me he couldn't get any saline in or out of my band. He thinks it's a kinked tubing problem or a port malfunction. Either way, they are gonna go in and fix or replace it. I was majorly bummed when I found out, now I'm okay. I'm just having some hard days staying on track with my food. I'm just hoping they won't have to start all over with my fills. I was just about at a good spot. Even now I have some restriction but I just found out I can eat a whole beef and cheddar from Arby's - Dang it! :sad: Still losing slow and steady though.

Thanks to everyone for your well-wishes. Helps a lot to know I have you guys there.

      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.
