I was just going to make a similar post! I havent been exercizing too much-walked a bit a few days after I got out of the hospital, but its been so snowy and cold out, my motivation is horrible right now. Plus, I am really sore/tender, not sure exactly what or how to describe the pain I am having in my upper right middle abdomen. It's not right at the incision that I guess I will say is the "main incision"-its the one that they pulled the bag out with the stomach (uggh, the thought freaks me out a bit) but its not incisional pain, its pain above it, almost feels like its right in front of my new stomach? It's either muscular or maybe the organ itself? Who knows, either way, it still hurts when I sleep, hurts when I wake up, and has been bothering me for the past 2 days. I am wondering if I should call my surgeon? I dont want to be this nervous nilly patient who calls at any little issue though. I am still only 15 days post op, I supposed this pain will linger for a while. But, it does make me not want to exercize because I dont want to make it worse. Also, my weight loss at a complete standstill which is really bumming me out. I actually gained a pound over the weekend as well! Not sure how that is possible, I am under 700 calories a day! I am doing a pretty good job of getting in protein, yesterday was the first day I exceeded 60 grams. I did 2 full protein shakes, and for dinner had 2 table spoons of ricotta cheese, and smashed up a very small meatball, maybe an ounce or so of meat. I had 2 tbs of sauce on it. I have to say, it was delicious! I had a hard time eating it slowly and had a little reflux right afterward.....anyhow, very bummed about the stalled weight loss. I though the weight would continue to pour off me for the next few months so sad that I am 2 weeks post op and still at the same total weight loss as I was 5 days ago. My pre op diet weight was 284 LBS, surgery weight was 271 LBS today I am at 252 LBS.
Completely frustrated.
