Hello again. So two days ago I pulled a bad mommy and picked up my 2 year old son (those darn baby eyes). The rest of the day I was fine, but the next day I woke up and layed on my left side and Had a very sharp pain under the left side of my ribs. It hurt whenever I moved, ate, and especially when I would breathe in deep. Today it wasn't as bad, but I can't turn certain ways and it definitely hurts when I breathe in deep, but it does feel better. I am afraid I may have pulled something, but my biggest fear is a hernia. I called the surgery clinic and they said if it hurts bad go to the emergency room, but on a scale of 1-10 I am probably a 3 or 4 steadily, so it doesn't seem like an emergency to me. So my question really is does it sound like something any one of you may have had? If so what was it?

i pulled things a couple of times, mostly just stretching too far puts a tug on the incisions. If it feels better I wouldn't worry too much. Just pay attention for things getting worse and tell your sweet baby Mommy has to take care of herself for a few weeks and just give him hugs without picking him up!

thanks. it's so hard sometimes lol after 2 days the pain did go away thankfully. I returned to work today and was able to make it the whole shift without any pain. still can't eat much, but it's not pain that does that. it's nausea.

      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.
