Hi,

I had my surgery about 2 months ago and I am having port pain. This is the first for me. It feels like it is just so sore like I hit it on something.

I think I read that during TOM, it can be sore but I don't know if that is true or not.

Anyone know?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have not had a fill yet, so that isn't it. I exercised on Monday and this started Wed am so I don't think it was related to that.

I have lost 43 since I started and about 30 since surgery.

wow, what is your food secrets :w00t: i have major back problems so am not able to do much in the way of excercise but maybe you could give me some other tips, i have been a slow loser and i have stuck to the diet plan.

i wished i knew why your port was sore. mine is still sore from my first fill a week ago.

I don't really have any secrets. I eat about 800-900 calories a day and work out 2-3 times per week. I know the exercise has helped me out a lot. In the beginning I could only get about 300 calories in a day so that is where I lost a lot of my weight. I have slowed down a lot since I can eat more.

Hopefully someone will let me know why this is happening!

Hang in there, you will lose!

I am scheduled to go next friday for my fill. If it isn't better by Monday I will call and see what they want to do. It is strange as in the morning it is ok and it is by evening when it gets sore.

Good news is I am down another 2 lbs!

oh mine does that too. i usually have to come home and put on something (like a gown) that doesn't bind me in anyway.

the port is sewn to a muscle. and by the end of the day mine is pulling and bothering me. not sure if this is the same as yours though.

What is TOM? I have seen it referred to several times. I am not quite up on all the abbreviations.

It means Time of Month.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
