My scars aren't that bad. The one in the boobie area was the first to heal and you can't really even see it anymore. The others are healing up ...............The port is the only one and actually just checked it out and it has really faded too. I am like Nicole the one above my belly button is the last to fade.......that one got infected and swelled up so that is why. BUt it will fade too. Need to remember the aloe vera

Candra you look small there!! If that is a 14 than a 14 is small!! You looked great and your right your brother looks ALOT like you!!

Ah crazy busy today I have to run more later when I get back home............

Lol we arent tryin to give you anything to be worried about if anything im trying to help you get over the scars:D

Jess the port can be revised.. the reason it starts to stick out is because when you loose weight thats just the way life is. And it doesnt always stick out.. for me it depends on the day, lol serious.. some days its like high and others its hiding so deep.. weird lil sucker..:sad:

My husband doesnt complain about any of them.. so that is a good thing right??

I think I'm going to bring it up when I go for my Hx/Px. So she'll know I'm concerned. That may be my only saving grace of having a woman surgeon.

Candra when's your surgeon appt?

You guys are so so so funny - either that or you're tryin to humor me like the fed ex man LOL the smallest I ever got to was 163 and that was for about 30 seconds then right back to 170. Nicole, the pic in the sand I was about 170/175 size 14. that suit is the same one XL. It came with matching shorts yeah! don't have it anymore - I have the best one piece - size 18 - never wore it cuz still too big for swim suit. It looks alot like the one I've attached but it's red & white and the front is ALOT wider covers more of the tummy. When i get small enough I will get this one in a smaller size. Can't wait to see you all on the band size - skinny world, here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, tina, my brother is 5 1/2 years older than me so he use to tote me around - take me roller skating with him & his friends - things like that - anyway, they all use to call me "Little Louie" SUCKED!!!!

Jes, my appt is 8/31. gonna have a little chit chat with Dr. fisher - sucks that there's nobody on here that has had surgery with him so I have no idea how he does - incision wise. he may not make small incisions, he may not try to hide the top one under a boobie - all things I need to make him aware of LOL. When is your appt?

you're making me laugh.....if you think about it since he's used to doing RNY he probably has talent and perfected the slice and dice, which may be a good thing.

      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.
