Does anyone still have sharp pain from any of their incisions a week post op? Debating whether or not I should call (again) to be seen… my right incision has been killing me since surgery. I figured it was just a post op normal but I am a week out from post op and the pain has not weakened at all. If I am not on pain killers (Hydrocodone) I can’t even sit on the couch comfortably or walk… the right incision is so painful and when feeling it it’s pushed into my body (like dips into it, doesn’t lie flat) just wondering if anyone has this as well or if I should contact surgeon.

Hi Amanda - i am almost 2 week post op and i have not experienced what you have described. I wonder if your mind can only be quietened by talking with your medical team - you sound worried so that might just be the thing to do as you have suggested. I hope all is well - I would guess it is just a major healing site but to be certain, maybe call your medical team xx

That’s great news! When in doubt contact your doctor because this is serious. Hopefully you get to go home today.

Hey everyone I made it home today in 1 piece, feeling nauseated at the moment. Right now I'm working on stage 2 right out the hospital.

Take it easy. Don’t try to do too much. Glad your home!

This is normal. It's where the instruments were in. The biggest one is always the worst. When I had my sleeve, that was the one that hurt for like 3 weeks. The rest felt ok after a week, but the biggest one was KILLING me 3 weeks out. By 4 weeks I no pain anywhere at all.

      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.
