I'VE NOTICED THAT WHEN I WAS ON THE PRE-OP DIET, I FELT ACHY IN MY RIBS AND LIVER AREA. NOW THAT I'M LOSING POST OP I FEEL EVEN MORE ACHY IN THE RIB AREA. ANYONE EXPERIENCE THIS TOO??? DOES LOSING WEIGHT HURT? LOL

I haven't felt pain. But you know what I have felt? Itchy. My skin around my tummy, and back of my legs are so itchy at night. I literally wake up in the middle of the night and lather up with lotion so it stops and I go back to bed. I don't know if it is dehydration, dry skin, or fat shrinking. lol

Just like your stomach itches when it is stretching and your getting fat, I wonder if it is the same thing the other way around.

Gallbladder.

I'm almost 4 months post op and I only hurt when I eat bad things and that's mental hurt lol. If anything I feel amazing! I really noticed how less aches I have throughout my body. I've lost 58lbs and I feel amazing. The other day and work I had to lift 30lbs and thought to myself wow I had to carry this plus more before wow no wonder I was in pain. I don't know how long your post op but maybe it's still pain from the surgery.

Pac-woman - the itching is likely from your skin being dry - you're not getting all the nutrients your body needs and your skin is likely suffering a little as a result. I've noticed the same itching / dry feeling. Probably a little dehydrated too.

Sounds like a gallbladder problem to me. Does it hurt mostly after you eat (especially spicy)? Is the pain enhanced when you poke your finger up and under your bottom ribs?

Actually my aches & pains have decreased with the weight loss because of my arthritis. I was very tired for the first month but I'm past that now.
