I am 2 weeks post off and am having sporadic menstral like cramps (sorry guys) on my right side about 6" above my appendix. Anyone else have any of these?

You still have a lot of healing going on in there. It can be deep layers of scar forming (that's a good thing) and it can feel like its in a different place from your incisions.If you look at or poke your incisions you know they are not completely healed yet and the same thing is probably going on inside. Sometimes they come in waves like menstrual cramps because your bowels move in waves in there and bug them...

I was told the surgery itself (Anesthesia) can cause cramps and an early period. I have been having the same pain

      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?

      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.
