I felt like that the first 2 weeks. It hurt to inhale, mainly on the left side. The first week was the worst by the second week I felt it going away.

I had the same thing yesterday. Felt like I pulled a muscle. I think as we heal and start to do more it can get sore. I woke up today and it was better. I'm 18 days PO.

Try taking it easy, your body is recovering. Try resting As much as you can but if the pain gets worse or doesn't get better ask your doctor.

The surgeon said there is a big internal stitch there on the lwft side. I have it too so I asked. He has me taking aleve liquid gel open it on squeeze it into tiny bit of Water twice a day. Helps a lot.

      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.
