I'm almost 3 weeks post op and I was doing wonderfully until I got a cough Tuesday night. I was up hacking all night. well, since then I've been suffering from the pain of the stitches on my left side. no amount of Tylenol or pain meds will help it. I only feel fine when I'm not moving. when will it go away?? :(

You probably pulled the stitches, but It would be a good idea to call your surgeon's office just in case.

yes I have talked with them. they are not concerned and said its probably the stitch.also went to my regular dr for my cough and she gave me medicine for bronchitis and examined my belly and said she didn't feel like any of the incision areas opened (hernia)

I had this happen and OMG it hurt. I'm so sorry you have this. It went away at one month. Just woke up one day and I had only lingering soreness, like from bruising. After that, no more problems. I asked the dr for a refill on pain meds when it happened and he gave it to me with no problems.

      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.
