I am 17 days post op and have lost 17 pounds. I just started puréed foods this past Friday and am still havering a difficult time getting all my liquids in. Today, I helped plant some flowers and I didn't wear my binder (trying to stop) and now I am sore along my abdomen. I thought it was on my incision sites, but it wasn't and now I'm worried. Could I have caused a leak? Did I just overdo it? I feel fine otherwise- no fever, no pains, no upset tummy, nothing. Any info would be appreciated ????

I would say, with none of those symptoms you definitely wouldn't if hurt your sleeve , my guess is that you just have sore muscles, they have been through a lot a past couple of weeks

My main pain, even right after, was never at the incision sites, but a little to the right of the biggest incision. My doctor said that there would be more tenderness than just the incision spots (which I noticed very badly after weeding along our fenceline yesterday.) Sounds like you probably just overdid it a bit. Take it easy for a day or two and see if it feels better.

Hey Amanda2014 I just saw my doctor for the same thing. He told that it is common for that area to be sore because that's where they pull the stomach out. He told me they do put in sutures in that area and those can sometimes stretch, causing the soreness. As long as you don't have any symptoms you should be ok. But it never hurts to check with your doctor.

      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?

      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.
