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?

[heidi05 6]

my port area is still quite soar but i cant see where it is i can just feel it, not sure if its normal or not sorry

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.
