Sleeved on 9/19 and today my stomach and incisions feel much more sore than they have. Enough that it hurts to take a deep breath. It feels very bruised. I haven't needed and oxycodone and don't want to start now - anyone else have this experience?

I am going for my post-op appointment today.

Bring it up at your post op appointment. It could just be that any nerves that were cut/damaged during surgery are regenerating

My surgery was the same day and my incision is still really sore, but I don't know that it's gotten worse. I saw my surgeon yesterday and they didn't seem concerned, so long as it isn't swollen or red in a circle around it.

I was sleeved on 09/19 and my stomach is still sore but its not getting worse. It feels better each day. I definitely agree that you should talk to your surgeon at your post op appointment about it. I also agree that it is probably from one of the deep stitches. I know I have this constant pulling feeling from one of my incisions when I walk and according to my nurse, its completely normal.

It was my drain - finally got it removed (and staples) and I feel GREAT. They said all incisions looked great. Phew!

Staples? Did you have an open procedure, or laparoscopic? I had lap-robotic and all I have is 5 small incisions, held together with steri-strips. So far, so good; 12 days post-op and the tape has fallen off two of the incisions, and they look find.

I had laproscopic sleeve and have 7 small incisions, which until today were stapled together - now they're steri-stripped.

      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.
