I haven't had any sort of bowel movement since Thursday morning. I kind of miss it! Is that weird?

Down 11 pounds total. 89 to goal. 11% done! I wish I had a faster download speed... haha. Geek alert.

I'm at work this morning, but I think I'm going to have to leave early. I don't feel well at all...my jeans are still too tight over my swollen stomach, even though they fit perfectly 11 pounds ago. I just want to wear sweats to work :tongue2:

I know what you mean Heidi. I didn't think it would come off so easily. I hope it continues.

The past couple of days I've lost 2 pounds each day, but I know it will slow up soon. It's a good motivator to stick to my liquid diet, though! I've moved on from Clear Liquids to thin liquids, which means I can have a watered down Protein Shake. Mmm, Protein, how I've missed you!

So I got banded on the 4 th of November. I am almost feeling as if nothing was done, other than the excrutiating gas pains. I am 3-4 weeks post op and have only lost 5lbs. my liquid , my soft , were only 1 week each. and now I am eating solids with little to no problem. I am feeling very discouraged. Does anyone have any advise or have you experienced the same? My first fill is supposed to be in 3 weeks, I can't wait. What till then? :w00t:

Why don't you give your doctor a call? Maybe they will push up your fill appointment. Did you lose a lot of weight on a pre-opt diet? I'm just asking because sometimes those who lose a lot of weight before surgery don't lose as much after. It's like any diet you start, initially you lose more weight than later on. Good luck. I hope things go better for you.

Before I started regular food I was losing a pound a day and then I was afraid once I ate real food that would slow down. Well it did, but only slightly. I think it is important not to stay too low on the calories too, so maybe when I started foods it was a good thing. I guess I worried for nothing. Now I'm adding some exercise into the picture, slowly though as I'm pretty arthritic. Keep up the good work!:w00t:

Ok I'm two weeks out. Everything appears to be healing good but port area still very sore. Something weird though... Can anyone see their port? I can see the shape of it under my skin. I'm wondering if anybody else and see theirs?

rollinmyway and Heidi05- My port is sore and hurts like heck!! very uncomfortable sleeping. I have a cold so everytime I sneeze it burns. I understand this is normal and it takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks until you fully heal.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
