Call your surgeon right away. Can be incisional hernia, cyst, or Fluid pocket. I would go to ER!

Thanks! Im not hurting at the moment it's just sore to touch, I don't think it's an emergency, I'm just trying to relax, my husband will be home at 1:00 am if I'm hurting or start having anymore problems I'll go. Thanks everyone!

Try not to wait too long and don't use a heating paid. If its a Fluid pocket the fluid will come up to a boil. I dont mean to scare you but it happened to me with a previous surgery.

Finally my dr text me back and just told me she wanted to see me next week? So she must not be to concerned? But what I know I've never had heart burn this bad! I'm taking nexium and mylanta, so I thought maybe it might be a hernia?

      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.
