Probably where they retracted liver out of the way. Now you know your Dr Marc, I know my Dr Bradley, you got the Grade A #1 type surgery, neither of them would have stood for less than perfection. I really believe its just settling of your innards into a place of recovery and recuperation. Gonna take a while, imagine how mine are going to complain after being left alone for,so many years!😝👣😝Step by step little one, you are doing fine.

I was told that the site where the doc works aka the big incision will have internal stitches that can cause some pain when they start to dissolve. Some people describe it as a dull ache others a spasm. Sounds like that might be what you're doing

The scrambled egg gave me a stomach ache at first. The deviled (I put less than 1 teaspoon low fat mayo, yellow mustard and lawry’s salt) did not bother me at all. I thought maybe the mayo helped. Next time I tried roasted chicken (dark meat). I was scared so I added the same ingredients to it before purée. I did well with that as well. I tried a scrambled with one wedge of laughing cow cheese. That went well. Then lastly I tried the ricotta cheese bake recipe from the blog the world according to egg face. That went well too. That’s all I tried so far. Also used the WatchMeEat app and a tiny spoon so I didn’t eat too fast

I had very good luck with purée stage. I did devilled egg, chicken salad with low fat mayo or Greek yogurt, scrambled eggs with a bit of ricotta cheese mixed in, kept them nice and smooth. Soda crackers and Melba toast also no problem. But getting a bit cocky I was cutting up a costco rotisserie chicken for hubby and was taking small bits and chewing well when all of a sudden It got stuck! It was very uncomfortable for about 15 minutes and kept wanting to come up but it finally passed 😩

Could someone please explain...I am day 16. No pain from site during the day and op sites are healing beautifully. BUT as soon as I go to bed I get pain on my left?? Even if I lie on my back or wedge myself on the side pain pain pain??

Why does this only happen when you sleep? ? I thought it would get better by now?

      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.
