Oh my sorry its so bad. Mine started yesterday. It is a stabbing pain. It sucks. I think it's a stitch in the muscle. I have an appointment tomorrow and I'm going to ask. Ugh.

Thank you all! I am in nursing school with clinicals, I got out of the hospital on Thursday and went back to class on Monday maybe it's norm then and I've just done too much : -/

Wow, that's fast to go back to clinicals! I scheduled my surgery for the first week of Christmas break so I have 4 weeks to recover before I go back to 12hrs/day clinicals. You're a trooper for sure! I hope the pain lets up for you soon. Good luck with your studies! Are finals soon for you? Mine is Wednesday with pre-op being the very next day.

No I had finals the week before. We go on 11 week terms instead of semesters. I think I may have overdone it I've been hurting pretty bad yesterday and today: (

i am approximately 2.5 weeks post op. am having severe pain in lower-left abdomen. it feels like there are spasms. it hurts at one specific incision. it does not hurt anywhere else. the pain is so bad that it hurts to walk, it hurts to get up from a sitting position and it hurts to sit down. the only time i feel relief is when i am lying down. it feels bloated. BM's are normal. Gas is moving through. is this normal? i have a follow-up appt with the surgeon in 2 days.

this incision pain is bit scary because on other days I have felt great. it feels like a setback. i am hoping that the pain will decrease tomorrow. i am very grateful for this forum. it is comforting to read about others' experiences.

      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.
