stop feeling where you had surgery? What I mean is..I "feel" an uncomfortable feeling in between the incision sites. Its not a sharp pain..just a dull pain..not horrible and if I push really hard where it hurts...rubbing the pain site..it usually with feel better instantly . When did you not notice that you had surgery? This may sound crazy but in my mind I see the staples rubbing place on the outside of my intestines! I know crazy..

It took me about 2 weeks to get to a point where I really didn't have any pain or discomfort and it was easy to forget I had surgery.

It takes time. Sometimes, when I am really full, I can feel the left side of my stapleline against my abdominal wall. Your incision site is healing and it will take time to heal and then you will forget it's even there. No problems and no, your not crazy. LOL ;)

to be honest I didn't feel myself again until 2 months out. But when I did It was amazing, and now I feel great everyday!! Well worth the "torture" to get to this place.

I can't feel anything unusual at all. I had soreness the first week or so, but never could I feel my actual stomach or staple line!

      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.
