I'm 12 days post-op and haven't had any pain for about 4 days other then at one of my incision sites. It's the one in the top right and it has both a pressure and burning pain to it at times. I still can't sleep on my right side because it hurts to but and feels like somethings pulling. I don't think it's infected because I've been keeping them clean and there isn't any color change or discharge. Any ideas?

Is it where the port is? And how have u been keeping them clean?

I was told to simply wash them when showering (no tub) and pat dry and do not rub. And not to put anything on them. I can't tell they are even there. Four days post op.

:blink:I have the exact same kind of pain only on the other side. I know it is where the port is because my general practitioner x-rayed my stomach to see if I was getting all the gas out and I saw it. It hurts for me when I bend over or when I move certain ways. It's like a pulling, burning sensation. It kind of scares me because I wonder if I'm pulling the port out or if there is something wrong with the way it is placed. Not an answer for you, but at least you know someone is experiencing the same thing you are.

      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.
