I was 4 weeks post surgery this last Thursday. Yesterday evening I starting hurting right below my breast bone. You know that part where your ribs come up between your boobs? Lol....It almost feels like something is pulled, but I haven't done anything to pull a muscle. Anyone ever feel this? I haven't hurt anywhere since surgery, so this has kind of thrown me for a loop. I guess I just want to know it's nothing to worry about. Thanks in advance.....

A lot off us had a pain at the bottom of the ribcage anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks out, its from the internal sutures healing and stretching..

This could be it.

I had a pain like that on my side for a few weeks after surgery, I called my doctor and he had me come in. After the exam was done he said it doesn't seem like anything serious probably just healing pains, he made an appt for me for three weeks later by then it was gone. I'm doing great now, never knew what it was but it went away eventually.

Thanks everyone! I am not going to worry about it unless it gets worse. I guess it is just part of the healing process.

I am 11 days out and yesterday I was feeling great walking normally getting up and down easily and now today I get a stretching feeling and sharp stabbing pains in my left side from the left of my belly button up to my rib cage. It only hurts when I am moving. Which isn't very much today because its so painful.

      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.
