Heaviest Weight: 657lbs (9/20/12)

Surgery weight: 406lbs

I am one week down on puree (2 weeks to go), eating around 600-800 calories, including 2 Protein shakes. I use Bariatric fusion mixed with fat-free Lactaid. I also like Muscle Milk on the go. Usually I eat 1/4-1/2 cup scrambled eggs, 1/4 cup greek yogurt, Gerber Lil' Crunchies, Healthy Choice 100 calorie greek frozen yogurt cups, sometimes some sugar-free pudding. and at least 32oz of Crystal Light. I am DYING for some chicken salad in 2 weeks!! :-)

Surgery 3 weeks ago today - down 19 lbs and moving to soft foods tomorrow.

Question: Any of you August sleevers (3 - 4 weeks out) still having pain around incisions on your right side? It is strictly muscle wall pain - very, very sharp and painful when I get up from bed or chair, or even walking at brisk pace. Sometimes sharp stabbing in that same vicinity while doing nothing at all.

The pain there is where your surgeon pulled out the remnant stomach. That is the one that takes the longest to heal, and it does feel like a stabbing pain. He also does most of the work out of that site. The trochanter is larger.
