Weird lump just appeared on stomach WHAT is it?



Recommended Posts

Just today (this morning) I noticed a weird lump on my stomach on the left side. It wasn't there yesterday. It feels kinda hard. It looks like a really badly swollen mosquito bite (it's definitely not a mosquito bite though) but it feels hard. What could this be? post-305947-14839700290152_thumb.jpg

I had them on the incisions also. One was there right after surgery and took 4 weeks to go down. Not sure

what it they are, but the surgeon did not say anything, and my sister who is a nurse didn't think much of it.

Its normal nothing to worry as long as its not infected or leaking anything. Your body is just healing right now they should've sent you some cream to help with the pain and swelling mine just went away a week ago

The popping is most likely you were breaking up an adhesion. My obgyn told me to rub, with pressure, my c-section scars to break up any hard spots

      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.
