I am 12 days post op and started feeling a pieecing pain on my right side as well but its not anywhede near my incision. Its almost as if i had a huge bruise in this spot and someone was pressing really hard in that area with their finger. The pain is probably two inches above and three inches away from my incision. It has bothered me all day to where i broke down and cried for fear that i may of pulled something internally on my sleeve.

That's how I feel but it starts right under the incision and goes around my back. Grrr.........I was doing so well!

Yes me too i felt like i was doing great considering the fact i struggled the first three days and had tl stay in the hospital but i can honestly say as far as much pain from the incision i havent had any. Its all been either gas(which is gone now) or lower back pain where i feel exhausted but now this pain has come along... Im glad to know that im not the only one feeling it and at that almost the exact amount of days out as you. I was so worried i maybe bent or turned wrong or lifted wrong. So i guess it has to be somewhat normal?

Gall bladder is good. I do take actigall twicw a day. I was told it is a little nerve damage and should subside.I was just fine until I got caught off guard with a huge sneeze. I pulled something I think. If I push the nerve in my back it does subside some. I have an appt Tuesday.

I saw the surgeon today. Since starting the preop diet I have lost 26lbs. Everything looks great. The right side pain is a pulled muscle and popped stitch caused by sneezing of all things! It is getting better but he says it will just take time. I was cleared for the treadmill and light weights so the gym will be my new friend! I started pureed foods today. I had tuna salad and cottage cheese. Mmmm! But I'M SOOOO STUFFED! It was delicious and I had no problems tolerating the heavier food.

      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.
