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!

      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.
