Omg How Would I Know If I Ripped A Stitch?

[JanellesMommy8210 8]

My little girl had a tantrum and I had to lift her out the store. I had some pain that day, yesterday too. When I called me doctor he said to take my pain pill and it instantly went away. Today I am fine but it does still feel a lil sore in my port area. But its not unbearable. Does anyone think I ripped it? Only difference I do notice is I am up to eating almost 1 cup of food at one sitting compared to the 1/2 cup. I am only 2 weeks post-op.

Firstly, relax, ripping a stitch would not take away restriction, you can eat more because youre healing. You would not necessarily know youve done it, but your body ill continue to heal and form scar tissue to hold your band firmly regardless of one or two less stitches.

I know how you feel lol, I had a tummy tuk a bit over two weeks ago and if Ive sneezed once, Ive sneezed a thousand freakin times and each time it feels loke Ive popped every single stitch! I dream about my tummy unravelling!

Ah, tantrums. What a joy. Even more so when said child is 14 and overtired from staying up all night!

Only 2 weeks out and eating "real" food already?, that is unusal... As far as the pain feeling... i am 7 months out and every now and then, when i sleep weird or do too much lifting/pushing/bending during the day i still get a soreness around my port, but usually goes away in a day or two.

No I am not eatingreal food yet. Mushies such as steamed fish, eggs, cream of wheat,grits etc. Spoke to the doctor and he said I should be fine. Just try not to lift heavy things. Thats hard when you have a terrible 2 at home lol.
