Hey there. I'm six days post with six incisions. Not a pro on why yours hurt so much, but I do think everyone's pain will differ. My pain was bearable on my third day. I left the hospital after two days and haven't used pain meds since. Your theory sounds highly plausible. It wouldn't be a good idea to just sit around though...the more you walk around the more your body should get used to your new cuts. Good luck ^_^

I've heard that you might try a binder I don't know if it's too soon or not as I haven't had my surgery yet. Maybe someone can let us know.

Hi I made 1wk PostOp today!! Yes, the pain has subsided quite a bit. And yesssss Fat Pat no more I found that using a binder (wrap) decreases my pain immensely!! I began using the binder at end of surgery day and have used it everyday since!!

      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.
