Looking good nicole, even upside down LOL

Jes, so glad you pee pee'd. Yeah, the port hurts alot but I havent taken any pain meds, they make me feel worse. the more I walk around the better it feels. Today is much better than yesterday - to be honest, Tuesday was the worse I felt! I had a shit load of pain in the port area on Tuesday but it was better wednesday and even better today.

Today I went to costco, michaels & the post office - felt good to be outside in the fresh air but it was kinda hot today.

Now for the important questions.... anybody get a rash after surgery? I got a rash on my tummy - not near the incisions but on there - it's red, itchy and reaised up like welts. if it doesn't go down by tomorrow I'm gonna call my PCP.

Oh, nicole - I weighed myself about 30 minutes ago - don't know what posessed me to do it in the evening time but it was 197. I weighed in Monday morning at 201.2 so a little down.

I think I feel my band - whew! I took a sip of Water - just a sip but I had taken a sip right before that and all of a sudden I felt this little pain between my boobs and about and inch down. not fun!

caughing and sneezing sucks just as much as laughing does right now!

Jes, you'll feel better tomorrow - trust me!

Candra, no rash here.. Have you ever been allergic to anything like latex? You are probably just having irritation.. i hope:)

Walking does fix it all:D Oh and breathing..:thumbup:

I don't have any rash but my scars are ugly! and my whole tummy is starting to itch. Candra did you take a shower? Dr Park said I can take a shower on Friday but I think I might wait. When I get up it feels like I going to bust my port hole open. I know I'm a worrier...

I showered today - but was worried about soap getting in the incisions or the Water hurting as it hit so i kept my back to the shower and let the water run over my shoulders down my tummy hahaha. That's how the port feels, like it's gonna bust op en. Just keep in mind it's the muscle that it's sewn into that hurts - just the muscle! tomorrow i'm gonna call you and make you laugh like you did to me LOL. Seriously, it gets a little better each day from here on out. I felt stiff this morning but as soon as I got up and moving i felt ok. I find that the tylenol and/or the lortab don't make any difference - just that the lortab makes me queezie so I only took each of them once.

      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.
