Honestly, I think once the bruising goes away and the extra blood is cleaned off - and I have stitches so when those are gone it will look alot better. Hard to really see cuz my boobs are in the way but that's my rationalization anyway.

you have stitches? I only have glue. But you are right they will be fine. And mine will be too once I put aloe vera on them.

Funny you should ask, Nicole, cuz I have no idea. Just what I was told when I was little so it just always "was". Because I've had it as long as I can remember, I assume you are born with it. My father use to get many blood transfusions for it - I never have. never will! So, for me, this doesn't really look bad. That is until I see somebody elses LOL

Your incisions, look pretty clean, that bruising will go away quick, Candra, but be careful with the soap, even if its family (germs). Wanna keep them as clean as possible. So glad u ladies are a walkin well with Water and west!(rest) Get em Nicole, like the online nursing staff hehe...love you ladies, and glad you are banded and ready to roll (not on the port)lol.

Hey Donna! It's liquid soap. funny cuz my brother and husband both use bar soap and they have their own individual soaps in travel containers in the shower. I only use Dove soft soap (liquid) because it's the gentlest on my skin, I can only use dove deoderant too or I get lumps under my arms - I'm just so weird.

Jes, it is swollen, I can feel it - the whole upper section is but you're right, not bloated or full of gas - seriously, NO GAS. Are you sure you passed the pregnancy test LOL

I do look like I've been assasinated though hahahaha

the monokini will be just fine for you. I told you I have a dot to dot candy cane.

Don't worry my shop is closed no more babies for me .

Gosh my tummy is growling away but I'm not hungry. I can't believe I had a popsicle for dinner and I'm happy.

I had Water for dinner - like I said, all of a sudden I feel this pressure in the center of my boobs and about an inch down - don't want to eat or drink anything! i think I'm loving this band thing already LOL.. Hopefully, when I weigh myself in the morning I'll be smaller than 197

I don't feel my band yet, only the port. I drink and everything goes down like before. Maybe by Saturday I'll feel something like you. I even took my pills today, no problem.

      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.
