So, I am almost 9wks post op. today I decided that I would redo my daughters vanity that I've been saying I would do forever. Anyway, I got it outside and started spray painting away. About 10-15 min into it(squatting on the ground to get the bottom part)I got this severe burning pain right between my two incisions on my left side looking down. It almost feels as if I have ripped something in there and I'm kinda freaking out. I've felt it once before around 2wks post op as I was turning in bed one night. I'd hate to call my Dr on Super Bowl Sunday but I am worried something is wrong. Any ideas what it could be or has anyone else felt this burning pain??

I had that too at two weeks. You might have just pulled something a bit. See how you are in the morning. Hope you feel better. We forget we are still healing. I've been "pinching" lately.

Thank you. I hope I just over stretched something. My biggest fear is something being wrong with my pouch or old stomach and not know it!! Luckily, I don't really feel sick or anything else just that terrible pain. Ill definitely call tomorrow just to ease my mind. Have you felt that pain since then??

      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.
