I'm alittle i've 2 Weeks out my surgery day. Is it normal to still feel pain. I know someone around my age that returned back to work after 2 Weeks with no pain and another woman who returned to work after 3 days with little pain. I usually have a high pain tolerance level. I had a.c-Section and was walking the next day with little pain. I've been taking it easy and not lifting over my restricted weight limit the surgeon gave me. I know everyone is different, but i'm seriously starting to thing something is wrong with me.

If its causing you anxiety I would call your doc to be safe. I was in actual pain the first 4 days then I stopped my medication. After that I was sore another 2 Weeks...give yourself credit you've gone through major surgery and your body is not only recovering but its losing weight quickly....hope you feel better soon!

What kind of pain are you talking about? Like internally, muscle pain, incisions, etc?

Soreness. I think more internal. I really don't have any pain with my incisions. I do have a little numbness near the large incision where they took my stomach out. Not really to concerned with that though that is the same thing that happened with c section. I really pushed myself to try drinking fluids because it was do hot out and I feel like i'm not meeting my goal fluids. And tonight when I laid down I feel a"pressure" like feeling in my chest. I'm not sure if that's normal or not either?

      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.
