Is it at your incision site?

[melyniet 1]

No it's way under it

I'm wondering if I maybe injured my stomach from trying samples of foods

Did you vomit? Ovarian area? Have you had a recent bowel movement?

If you have been sticking to the foods phase your NUT laid out, you shouldn't be doing any harm. Is it constant or come and go? Do you have any fever or chills?

Pain, in general, that cannot be explained easily (like incision site) should be investigated. Since it is the weekend, you may want to call your surgeons office, but go to the Emergency room.

It really stays when I'm laying down and when I'm up walking it comes and goes. At this point the pain is not horrible I'm curious if anyone knows ifi it is the stomach stitches

No vomit and yes bowel movements all day.

If the pain radiates from front to back higher up it could be gall bladder. I had deep pain under my stitches from the internal sutures and it was near the incision that they removed my stomach. I was on pain meds into my 4 week and I have a high pain tolerance. Be careful not to lift anything heavy. When in doubt, call on-call doc, imo.

I had this. Low left pain to.its scary but it goes away. Your insides are moving to a slightly different place. I thought I ate something wrong also.

Just calm down and busy yourself with other thoughts. It's hard to not be consumed with your recent choice but soon it will go away and you'll feel wonderful. Good luck to you.
