2 Weeks Out....still In Pain?

hey all, so i;m 2 weeks out and i am geting frustrated! i have been at 222 the last week, how is that possible?? i am not exercising because i am actually still extremely uncomfortable and today when I did actually try to go for a walk i came back with a severe pain in my left rib cage and it hasn't gone away since...everytime i get up to do anything, i have to grab my left ribcage and apply pressure so that it does not hurt!! i feel kind of like (damned if i do and damned if i dont!) so far the last 2 weeks feel like they have not been worth all the pain my body is going through. ive lost 22 pounds the first week(11 of it i know was pure fluid) and this last week i havewent from 222 to 225 back to 222.....i'm super freakin frustrated!!

Stay off the scale for a few days. I can fully relate to the pain issue. I am 4 weeks out and for the first time I have no more pain from incisions. What I have now is the stalling. I am going to take measurements and go from there. I know clothes are changing sizes and I can see the difference and feel it. One day at a time. Another issue that I am having is that I have no energy. Trying to make sure that I get the right amount of protein in but it's hard. I guess I am ready to feel "normal" again. Keep a positive outlook. One day at a time..

i hear ya on the no energy thing! im exhausted.....i'm horrible about weighing myself, i think i'm gonna have the boyfriend hide the scale for a week lol! i havent lost any since my first week home and i'm 3 weeks out so getting a little discouraged. not gonna lie, i'm not following EXACTLY what the doc said to do (such as i refuse to drink skim, and i will add some SF choc syrup to my milk as well) just little things....i cant hardly eat anything BUT on the plus side, i am feeling much better this week,and iwas able to enjoy the outside with my kids today : ) im a very impatient person i am totally ready to feel normal again too!
