I was sleeved on 12/18 and was doing really well and then yesterday I started feeling more pain at the area where my biggest incision was internally. It's not horrible but it just almost feels like a pulling or something. When I press the area, I can feel a hard lump which maybe was always there but if it was I never noticed it. Of course I never pressed it before. Has anyone experienced this? I see my physician on Monday but its not the surgeon and I don't know if they will know anything.

When do you experience the pain? All the time or only when moving (sitting down or up, twisting, etc.)?

Sounds like that thing with your internal incision- the NP at my office said it could be mild or severe and that people sometimes went to the ER it was so painful, but it's normal. The internal staples are dissolving or something.

It's kind of all the time. But I sneezed a couple times and was fine then-when I was first recovering it was murder to sneeze. I have had a lot of gas today so I'm hoping that is it. Like Kendra said maybe its something with the staples. Do you guys feel a lump at all or did you at any time?

      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.
