Another 10/21 sleever here!! I am doing pretty well, but the bigger left upper abdomen incision is still bothering me quite a bit. When I walk, it really hurts. I'm taking lortab once or twice a day but that left side is really not comfortable. I've been getting most of my protein and liquids in, drinking mio water, cream soups and at least one protein shake per day. The best news is----I'm down 15 pounds!!! SW 217 CW 202. I should be in one-derland in a couple days!!! This surgery recovery is a bit bumpy but the weight loss more than makes up for it!!
