First Post Op Appt 10Days
I was kind of worried about this first appt because two days ago I started to experience this horrible pain in my upper belly according to the dr I pulled a muscle and need to ice it, he also re upped my pain meds so that will make things a little better. Good news to me I am down from 314 day of surgery to 298 I am so happy I can't wait until this pain is gone so I can start walking more I am also now on stage 4 that's a good thing also

Horrible Pulling Pain
For the past two days I haven't been able to stand up straight. I am 10days post op and besides the regular pain of the incision I have this pulling pain at the top of my stomach when I try to stand up. I thought I should just stand up quick this morning it hurt so bad I broke down into tears. I called my dr the nurse said since I am coming in today we can talk about it then but I guess I will be walking in there hunched over I think something is wrong anyone else have/had this problem?

Anyone Else.....
I would say maybe its the pepper. Write down what you ate see if it happens with anything else. Im only 9days post op so im guessing

Craving Food
Im 7days post op doing really well on all liquids but as I am sitting here I wish I could have mac and cheese, tuna salad, and baked chicken. I know there isn't a protien shake out there to help that craving and I know soon I will be able to have a small amount but gosh that would taste so good right now. lol

Not Ready For Work Monday
I work for a call center. The good thing is no lifting but bad thing is you have to sit for 8 hours straight besides lunch time. If you get up from your desk you are docked time for going to the rest room plus now im still on pain meds every 6 hours...I have a high tolerance for pain but im having a hard time healing from this one

Shoulder Pain - Not Gas Pain
I thought it wasn't gas pain also its like a sharp pain in my shoulders but it is gas try gas x. I noticed it more when ever I put pressure on myself with walking or trying to get up from a laying or standing position. It actually is gas although it doesnt feel like it.

Do You Guys Really Get Full?
Im still on a liquid diet 4days post op but I don't feel full like I see some other posters. I do only eat what im supposed to and I am satisfied on only liquid but I don't feel full I feel like I can have pizza or steak. I am really wondering if I had surgery the pain reminds me but that's it. Im considering testing it and seeing what happens but I wont.
