5 weeks out and started lifting weights, it was a very light session but it felt great. Never liked this whole walking thing.

I started lifting too, at 3 weeks. Never had lifting restriction by doctor because operation was through belly button. Do about 30mins cardio 30mins lifting. Its great.

That’s nice, mine doc told me 1 month, so I gave an extra week because this stubborn internal stitch doesn’t want to leave me.

Where exactly is this mysterious internal stitch? I have a sore spot beneath my lower left ribs, but I thought that perhaps I'd pulled a muscle twisting to get out of bed.

Mine is on the right side of the belly button half way up and down. Usually this incision will have an indentation like something is pulling in. This incision is the main source of pain after the gases go away. At least it is for me

I think the surgeon puts reinforcing stitches in there to support the muscular wounds until they heal, from what I've read on here when it finally released varies from a couple weeks to a month or more. Since I am pre-surgical I will find out how it is for me afterward. I am expecting surgery in a couple weeks so we will see how,my,own case turns out.😛

Thanks for that Pete. I don't think I have this stitch, as I have no indentations and only very minor pain. I haven't had to take pain killers since 3 days after the op.

I hope your pain eases very soon.

I stopped pain meds around day 4, the incision pain is more bothersome than anything. Like if I sit for too long leaning forward than when I stand I feel it, or when getting out of bed. But at this point I am almost 6 weeks out it is more annoying, I tried to do some abs at the gym and IT didn’t like it so I stopped. I am thinking about naming IT. Any suggestions???

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
