I had pain on the left like that also. My doc said it was muscular. It got better just had to go back on pain meds for a while. Good luck!

What you are going through is completely normal. Try using a heating pad or one of those peel and stick pads that warm up along with a support garment. If you are a woman, get a Spanx type garment that goes up high, as close to your breast area as possible. If you're a man, I'm sorry I don't know the equivalent.

I hope you feel better soon!

I had the exact same pain about the same time post surgery. I contacted my PA and she suggested that I use a heating pad or put a heating patch (pick up at Walgreens or Walmart) on the area that hurts and then wear my belly binder over the patch, the Patches last about eight hours. IMO this worked like a champ! Did this for about a day and a half. My best to you, I hope you feel better soon!

      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.
