Im 2 weeks post op and I'm feeling this sharp pain on my left side right underneath my biggest scar. Every time I sneeze or cough it hurts more and more. There's certain positions in which it doesn't hurt, and there's some in which hurts more. Does anyone relate? Or is it just me and I should go to the doctor.

Please help!

Were you stitched or glued?

That large incision is where they pull the excess stomach through the muscle. I was warned by the PA that it would be sore for weeks. It prevents me from twisting or bending. I mentioned it at my three week appt yesterday and the doctor said it will probably be sore for another couple of weeks.

I am 3 weeks our and still have pain on right side where biggest incision is. When I got out of recovery the area was sunken in. Surgeon said it was from the internal sitches and from scarring from gall bladder surgery I had in February. The pain is not as intense now but still hurts when getting up and twisting. Also can't walk very far without pain.

      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.
