I was banded 7 days ago. I have had a soreness under the left side of my rib cage since Sunday. It feels like a stitch in my side like when you run too much only it's right underneath my left rib cage. I called my surgeon's office this morning and they said that it could be constipation or just healing from the surgery. It feels fine if I'm perfectly still but if I move it all it is so sore. I took some milk of magnesia I hope it helps!

Can't believe we are both sitting at the hospital at the same time ...lol! I'm in Nashville. Where are you? -
I'm on the 9th day of pre op diet. I have felt great. The first week was 2 shakes and 1 lean cuisine a day with sugar free popcicles and jello and broth. Yesterday for week 2 of the pre op diet I had to start the 4 protein shakes a day with sugar free popcicles , jello and broth. I feel awful....I'm hungry. Irritable and feel very weak.....I know I only have 5 more days and am trying not to whine but would appreciate some advice!
