My stomach still feels sore 10 days out of surgery when I sit/ stand. It's much less pain and is manageable but I was wondering when does this stop? It comes and goes but is a very dull ache that spikes sometimes. When did it stop for you guys? Did you even experience this?

I will be 4 weeks post op on Monday and I was told to look forward to it until I am 3 to 6 months post op because my muscles and nerves were cut and now they are coming back...ugh some days are definitely worse than others but hopefully it will be gone for good soob.

So it can hurt for months? Guess its true they cut through nerves and have to recuperate on little nutrients right after.

I am 6 weeks PO and still have some soreness at times on my left side. No big deal really, just know its there.

The soreness will take some time to heal but it gets better day by day. I think it took about 6 weeks maybe a little more or less to complete stop feeling the soreness.

I'm 10 weeks post op and I have no soreness -- I think my soreness was gone by week 3 or 4. I've been working out with my trainer since 4 weeks post op and have had no issues with abs or heavy weights. Guess it's different for everyone, though, but it will definitely get better.

I am 18 days out from surgery and I was feeling great. Ion Friday, while getting up I'm sure I tore some scar tissue and it hurts badly. It's almost as bad as surgery was. I'm hoping the pain doesn't last long.

Same for me. As a whole no pain, but the larger incision on left side can be tender at times.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
