I SURVIVED MY FIRST FILL!!!!!:cursing:

for those of you wondering how it feels and if it hurts this is my story:

i went in laid down (my 5 YO son came with me) doc came in and spent the majority of his time trying to find the darn thing!!!! once he did he put in the needle and have you ever had a MMR shot???? thats what it feels like.

he got the nenedle in and then lost the port again ugh the needle grazed the port and scraped which sent my blood curdling from the sound.:unsure:

he took out what was in and then put that plus 2 cc;s more in for a total of 5cc's.

i drank and feel fine.

i am on fluids for 2 days including today then back to mushies for 2 days and then on to reg food. i really havent gone to reg food bc the mushies have been o for me for now. should i have the desire for real food i will prob try that the end of the week.

hope this has helped anyone who is looking for how it feels and if not well thanks for reading!!!:huh2:

We were told not to stick with the mushies because for the most part they are high calorie/low nutrient foods, and that it was important to move on to solids like chicken and fish....?

Anyway thanks for your post!

I had asked my doc about a low profile port and bless him very tactfully he said...right now, Rebecca, it will be hard for me to even find the port. But I promise when you lose enough that the old one sticks out, I will gladly put a smaller one in for you! :cursing:

LOL

      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.
