I'm 2 months out and sometimes I still get a pulling pain sensation in the big incision I don't know how much longer it will keep hurting

Mine went away about 12 days after surgery.

Don't panic. Everyone is different. we all heal differently and at different rates. Remember you have layers there. With several suture lines. Also it is tender because they pulled your stomach out of there and so that is why it hurts more.

Just be careful to not over do it until it completely heals. I know this takes patients but you are not a lone. All sleevers just about had tenderness with the largest incision. :)

8 days is not really very long. With my lap band surgery it hurt for about a month or maybe even 6 weeks.

None of my incisions hurt after surgery and I was surprised when I found out which one my stomach was taken out of. That one healed the fastest and you can hardly see the scar.

I had adhesions or scar tissue type things that grew and pulled. Lower right area was pretty bad. Had I done some twists and turns I likely could have knocked em loose and saved myself 6 weeks of unpredictable sharp pains. I thought it was normal but it was a result of c-sections, and hysterectomy surgeries and the way my body reacted to more in body invasions.

      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.
