So I was sleeved on 4/11 and this morning I am in pain. First it was on the right side now its on the left...I dont know if its gas, or muscles tightening up....it kinda feels like a charlie horse in stomach muscles but if i try to stand straight up it hurts....i am walking hunched over or if I lay on the couch stretched out it feels better...i have been massaging it and it feels better when I do that....why am I regressing...when will this pain be over

its not the direct incision but the area surrounding the incision

Could it be gas blink.gif

Did you have a drain? I had my surgery on the 12th and got my drain pulled yesterday. When it was in, my ribs hurt all the time (it was inserted just under my left lower rib). As soon as it was out my belly is alot less sore. But it hurt like a @%$@# coming out though. I get a little sore on the incision areas if I bend over or something too. Good luck!

Sam, you and were the same day and I've been sleeping on my side or stomach for awhile. I didn't have a drain though so not sure about that. If it's gas I would think if you walked you would have some relief through belching. I will say that I have some stomach muscle twitches going on but not bad pain. Call your surgeon. Keep us posted.

      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.
