So I keep getting this cramp in my left side. Feels like something is getting lodged or stuck in the muscle there. Then when I stretch slightly it goes away...then comes back again. It's very close to my main incision. Anyone else experience this?

Yes I experienced pain in my left side near the incision site as well.. You may experience this pain from time to time as ;you heal....I had days when there was no pain there but then some days it would remind me it was still healing. Just take it easy doing stretches of any kind until your doctor oks it. It took about 6 weeks or so before I stopped having that pain in my left side.

I'm also cramping on the side but on my back...like kidney area. Weird.

Okay so the cramping has mostly gone away. BUT...

As of last weekend (which was 2 weeks post op), I started feeling sharp pain, almost a pulling feeling, above my main incision on my left side. It seems to hurt more when I go into the cold, go figure.

In any case, it is annoying and hurts to the point I have to bend over slightly while moving around or hold onto the area to stop the pain. I don't feel it much when I'm sitting or lying down though.

I'm hoping this is normal. Just found it weird that this pain sensation hit 2 weeks after surgery versus from the very beginning.

Anyone else experience this?

I am 11 days post op and this exact pain just started happening to me today! If this keeps up I don't know how I'm supposed to go

Back to work on Tuesday which is 5 days. It hurts worse than the pain right after surgery!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
